I Want A Web Site For My Small Business, Who Can Host It For Me?

With a website for a business people would expect to pay to get a more resilient and protected service than with a personal website. It is important to understand exactly what protection is provided by the web hosting service, and which responsibilities remain with your company.

For example, an affordable web hosting service may not backup every website on their service every day, so you will still be responsible for making sure data is secure. If you want transactions to take place on your site, so that people can order items and pay for them with a credit card, for example, this will cost more.

There are many hosting services aimed at commercial web hosting, some affordable and some not. They can be found with a simple web search or a browse through computing and internet magazines. The main thing is to decide how important the web site is to your company and to make sure that the strength and security of the hosting facility matches that level of importance. If your site is just a catalogue of your services and doesn't change very often, then you won't need as much resilience built-in than if it is core to your business.
