Some web design companies offer internet
hosting as part of a package deal. Every webpage, email, file, or online
service is stored ("hosted") on a computer (called a "server") that is connected
to the internet. Web design groups that do not offer hosting may be able to give
an unbiased recommendation for third party hosting. You can usually purchase
hosting on a monthly basis.
