What is Virtual Hosting?
The way a person on the Internet finds a web site is through an address. As far as an Internet user is aware, an address may look something like http://www.disney.com, but, to acomputer, an address is 4 sets of numbers like 208.133.48.10. The numbers represent what is called an IP Address, which is unique among all computers connected to the Internet. When you want to see a Web page, you can enter either the IP address, or the URL (http://www.disney.com). For obvious reasons, the URL is the preferred method since it is more memorable and makes more sense, hence the introduction of Domain Names. When you set up a virtual site, you are, in essence, telling the Internet population how to translate your domain name (www.yourname.com) to an actual IP address. As your Internet Service Provider, we maintain a constant connection to the Internet with computers that allow a person on the Internet to ask for specific information on them. With Virtual Hosting, we tell our computers to accept requests for your unique address (www.yourname.com) and provide the information the Internet user is looking for. 

Virtual hosting is now as affordable as a dial up account. It is a very cost effective alternative to placing your own server on the Internet and will normally provide you with more versatility and services. You get to take advantage of our experienced staff, and the software we make available, at a fraction of what it would cost to do it yourself. No need to worry about performing your own backups or maintaining hardware around the clock. We do all of this for you and much more at one of the lowest costs in the virtual marketplace.
