Where do we host this website?   Do we have to go through the complicated process of finding a host?

Gulf South Media recommends several hosting solutions to accommodate your web site.

What is website hosting?

Web Hosting or 'Hosting' is a provider service which offers a physical location for the storage of web pages and files generally away from your normal location of business or home. Think of a Web Hosting Company as a type of landlord, they rent physical space on their servers allowing web pages to be viewed on the Internet.

How much does this service cost?

Hosting is generally inexpensive and usually the inexpensive part of any monthly or yearly fees involved with a website depending on what your criteria is.  If your website has a high volume of traffic, website hosting costs increase.  If your website hosts large files such as streaming audio (radio) or video (TV), then hosting costs can increase with those usages.   Hosting can sometimes be "metered" with large volume clients that use high volumes of bandwidth, much like a residential customer is charged for their cable or DSL bill monthly.  The more bandwidth used in a home, the more costly the service provided.

Generally, websites for small to middle business clients use moderate resources, and the cost usually much less compared to other services such as content management, updates, development, email newsletters etc.
