Hosting Service ::: Web Site Operating Costs

A hosting service provides a computer called a server on which you can place the web pages and supporting files that make up your web site.

The server can be accessed by anyone using a browser (eg. Internet Explorer, Netscape) and will ''serve'' your pages to them.

The host also provides email service using addresses to your domain.

You need a hosting service to host your web site. Hosting packages vary dramatically from very inexpensive to very expensive. A developer can determine your requirements and shop for the least expensive package that fulfils your needs.

* Expected Cost: $2.95/month
