FAQ > Web Hosting

What is domain hosting?

Most Internet Service Providers (or ISP) will give you a free web site which is included with your access package. ISPs prefer to do this because they subsequently don't have to provide a permanent IP address, which is what is needed to host a web site on your own computer. Most internet providers don't support domain hosting with their free web sites. Because of this, the URL for your site is just an extension of the URL of your ISP. For instance, if you are a Comcast customer, your website might be something like 'www.comcast.com/personal/robots'. When you switch providers, you must also switch your site as well.

A domain name is necessary for a professional web site. Of course you will have to find a real web hosting provider with domain hosting for your business. Don't register your domain before you chose your web hosting company since many companies include the price of domain registration.
