Building a web platform (web site) is the first step towards having an online presence. However, it doesn't stop there. In order for your customers to see and use your web site, you will need to host and protect it.
Hosting in itself is a huge industry and there are many options out there. Make sure to use a company that you can trust. After all, if your web site is down and not accessible, you loose potential business opportunities.
What are my options? Like with everything in life, there are always options. See below to get an idea of some hosting options;
-
Host with a company you already know - AskMorris, we use the latest technology and hardware. See what AskMorris hosting service offers
- You can host by yourself. - This is what is involved;

- setup of OS
- setup of necessary binaries such as e.g. apache, php, mysql
- regular maitenance by engineers of servers, hardware, OS, binaries and the web platform

You can host with a 3rd party. It could be a friend that runs a server from his bedroom or it could be a large hosting provider that it may be hard to build up a personal relationship with.
