Small business hosting is a specialized type of web hosting that supports the needs of small-to-medium sized businesses. Small business hosting companies provide business owners with specific packages to help promote their company over the internet and to a larger scale of customers.

If you own a small business and decide to build a business web site, you can choose from various small business hosting companies to sponsor your site. These companies offer a range of programs to help create your site and manage your online business. Numerous do-it-yourself services are available on the internet for minimal fees. Ad-supported business web hosting is also available for free; however, these web hosting services require pop-up ads to appear on your site, which may distract your buyers and disrupt your business.

Different software are used to maintain your online business, including software for building your product catalog and inventory. Other programs are also available for computing sales taxes and shipping charges and creating shopping carts for your customers. Your small business web host can also provide these marketing and website control programs. The more services you utilize, the higher is the package price.

For online businesses, payment collection is usually accomplished online as well. This is done by creating your own merchant account. The buyer pays using his credit card or other pre-specified modes of payment. The funds are then transferred from your customer’s account to your account.

An example of a small business hosting service is Yahoo Small Business Hosting. Yahoo Small Business Hosting offers a variety of services, including user-friendly site builders, round-the-clock technical support and web site control, frequent web page back ups, multiple data centers, shared security certificates, anti-spam and virus software, and marketing discounts, among others. Since Yahoo is a search engine, their web hosting program also offers placement on search engine results.
