To create a website is simpler than to host your own web site. Of course, this would still depend on the size of project you have, but generally, the latter task involves tools not readily available. Some could even demand special arrangements with service providers. On the other hand, you can build your web site using available templates and customize it with trouble-free software. Your choice is infinite, only varying based on your budget.

Hosting web sites is mainly done by a web hosting company but there are many businesses, especially big companies or IT-related ones that host their own websites. This is not to say you can’t host your own web site. You can, but get ready to shoulder additional expenses.

To host your own web site, you will need a fast and reliable internet connection. This will enable your site to be viewed at all times. Don’t even think about dial ups. The lowest you should get is an ISDN or DSL. Opt for a high-speed T1 line if you can afford it.

Aside from internet connection, you will also need IP addresses, or the unique numbers identifying your computer. You can get this from your internet service providers. Additional IP addresses can be arranged with corresponding fees.

Next is a domain name or your web site’s text name. You’ll need a unique name for this. Keep it short and easy to remember as possible. Another one is a web server or the software that runs your web site. You can find this bundled with other products sold by software vendors or free like Apache.

Lastly, you will need a computer and a webmaster to run your web server. Find a dependable PC with large hard disk and memory. You must also hire an able webmaster. Webmasters demand high salaries, especially the really skilled ones so be prepared to put this in your budget.

Your business may not be able to handle the complicated process and expenses involved in hosting a website. In this case, the best way to go is to let a hosting service do the job.
