Choosing a website hosting company

You have several choices:

• The space included with your e-mail address by your ISP (cannot have your own domain name)
   
• A free web host like Bravenet (cannot have your own domain name) - some have paid services as well, which may allow you to have your own domain name
   
• A site hosted by your ISP (usually can have your own domain name if you wish, at extra cost)
   
• A dedicated web hosting company like Server101 (can have your own domain name or not, as you prefer)
   
• Your own web server at your office - don't even think about it unless you really know what you're doing, you're prepared to have the machine online all the time, and you (or someone else) will be available to fix any problems immediately.
