Why do I need to Host?

Once you have created your website and have purchased a domain name. The last step is hosting your website. Web hosting is placing your website on a web server for it to be viewed via the Internet.

Web Server Facts

  • Most websites do not require the full resources of a web server so to reduce cost several websites may be hosted on a single computer.
  • Shared servers are typically the most cost effective solution for small businesses.
  • The service is usually billed by setting a monthly download quota:
    • Once the download quota is reached, the web server refuses to send any more web pages until more download capacity is purchased.
    • To reduce hosting costs it is therefore best to keep the filesize of web pages in check.
    • Smaller pages are not only cheaper to host but also load more quickly on the users browser.
    • Video, sound, and animation use the most download capacity followed by images and text.
    • Keeping filesize small is therefore at odds with creating a dynamic, engaging, and interactive web page.

Teeknet ensures that its websites exert the maximum utility from the smallest possible files.
