A place on the Web for your shop
While ISP's give you access to the Internet and often also provide you with space on the web, they do this because they have to - else you could go to a competitor who does.
Using your internet providers free web space is one of the worst business moves a store owner can ever make! Read on...
So how do I figure out where to put my shop on the internet?
Web hosting companies however specialize in renting out space for people who need it. While some ISP's offer very good hosting services, UK web hosting companies can be a better option because of the traffic they deal with is dedicated only to web sites. An ISP has to cater for people who want to get to the Internet and with traffic from the internet from people who want to see pages hosted by the ISP.
A UK web hosting company only has to deal with traffic from the Internet. In an ideal world your web site should come up faster when a visitor calls it - especially during busy times.
If you are connected to the internet then using a web hosting company is easy. You will get a special address to which to publish your web site. Our web site hosting will also allow you to have your own Internet address with your web space.
ISP's sometimes charge you more for this because they know using your own internet address makes you independent of them. After all, as long as you use and promote the address the ISP has assigned to you and not your own, you are unlikely to switch to a competitor.
