A lot of people are unclear about what web hosting is, and what you actually get for the money. Hopefully, this will help to make it clearer.

When you have a wesite, it must be "hosted" somewhere. This means that it must sit on a server that is always on and accessible, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It must also be permanently connected to the internet, and must be connected in such a way that thousands of people can access it at the same time without causing it to slow down or malfunction. A good web host like WangNET will offer this and much more as part of the hosting service.

WangNET will host a business website from as little as $165 per year. This hosting package (our "Business 100" package) gives you all of the following:

• 100MB of webspace on the server
• 2GB of monthly traffic to the server
• 40 unique email addresses in your own domain name, and unlimited redirects and aliases
• Comprehensive web statistics accessible by you any time (most hosts charge extra for this)
• Password-protected directories
• Shared SSL certificate for security
• Database functionality included
• And many more extras

 

If you are after hosting for a personal site, we offer that for as little as $99 per year!
