What is Web Hosting?
Once you have developed a website, you will need a place for this website to reside so that it can be accessed by numerous amounts of visitors at any given time of the day. In order for this to happen, the server (computer) that your website is hosted on needs to have hard disk space and connectivity that is able to provide sufficient delivery speed to your website visitors.
The hard disk space that you will require is based on the file size of your website, most business websites can be hosted on 50 Megs or less of space. The more images and pictures you have in your website, the larger the file size will be. Text on the other hand is usually very small in file size and is transferred rather quickly.
Now that your website is “sitting” on a server, you will need bandwidth (connectivity to the Internet) that is capable of letting all of your visitors access your website file at the same time if necessary. This bandwidth is usually provided to you by a professional hosting company or an ISP (Internet Service Provider) and is connected 24 hours a day. Every time a visitor enters your website they are actually requesting files to be transferred to their computer. These requests and deliveries can require a tremendous amount of bandwidth from your hosting provider that needs to be paid for

Which plan is right for me?
If you are planning a fairly small, brochure-style website, without too many photos or documents for download, then a Starter account should be sufficient for you. If you are expecting a fairly large number of visitors (e.g. 500 per day or more), or you have a number of photos or documents, you will probably need a Silver account. Gold accounts should cater for most sites with a high amount of website traffic or a number of photos/documents.
If in doubt, start with a Starter - you can always upgrade later if you need to (or you can contact us for advice)
