Resources for Web Hosting
A web host is a company which allows you to rent space on their specially
configured computers. Your web pages are placed on these computers, in order
to make them visible by people browsing the web.
If you have a good quality Internet connection, it is also possible to
run a web server on your own computer(s). Your computer will of course
need to be running all the time.
Here are some web hosting resources:
- WebHostingPicks.com

arranged by the facilities/features that each provides.
