| Services >> Hosting Your Own Web Site(s) -- FTP, Too |
|
The Business Card Of The Modern World If you don't have a web site, people wonder what hole you've had your head in for the last ten years. However, Internet service providers charge unbelieveable amounts to host even the simplest of web sites, and even more unreasonable sums for larger sites or those requiring "special" services. Multiple web sites? Multiple fees. The reality is that hosting your own web site(s) only requires a machine to act as your web server (and it doesn't even have to be that recent or great of a computer) and software that costs less than $500. Upcharge options that an ISP can provide, you can also do yourself -- secure web site hosting ("SSL"), restricted access to certain areas of a site, shopping cart functionality, detailed web log analysis...all easily accomplished for considerably less than an ISP will charge. |

FTP, Too
Many companies also host FTP sites for the convenience of their customers. If you're currently paying an ISP for such services, you can bring the services in-house and stop forking over money needlessly. You'll never have to call your ISP to set up or change a client FTP login ever again. |

Easier To Maintain
When your web site is hosted at an ISP, you have to use a clunky FTP client to upload new or modified pages to your web server. When you host your own web site, you can access it through the same convenient file-sharing mechanism you already use to share files. Copying large image files to the web server takes seconds instead of minutes. |
