Website Hosting
Selecting a web hosting service from the hundreds of candidates is a critical decision. Let us help. We have experience with several very good hosting services.
Hosting is critical to your website’s success.
Your website resides on your host’s servers and is developed, maintained, and operated using the host’s services, tools, and performance. Browsers access your web pages on the host’s servers and email is sent, received, forwarded and stored on the web server.
Web Hosting
What is It?
Your website must be installed on a web server that is connected to the internet. These are high speed connections which are required to provide rapid web page display. These speeds are much faster than is available through normal local DSL or Cable Broadband services.
Web hosting companies
Web hosting companies provide shared access to servers so that website developers and end users do not have to pay for expensive dedicated servers.
They manage all the security, backup and redundant internet access points necessary to provide maximum “up-time”. They also provide various services required to manage modern websites.
Accessing the host
The host can be accessed using standard ftp (file transfer protocols) supported by the internet. If you help maintain your own site content, you will be provided procedures and tools for sending updated content to your web server. We will provide training in the use of these tools.
Hosting Services
If we provide hosting

PALDOM can provide almost any hosting service required by a small business through our hosting contracts. This may even include making dedicated servers available to you as your site grows.
