If you plan on hosting your web site yourself on your personal computer. You will need to be aware that there are several negatives about doing this. Technically it is very easy to setup and run, but logistically it can be a nightmare. First you will need a fast dedicated connection to the internet. You can technically run the web site via a dial-up connection (modem) but your ISP will not be happy and will most likely drop your service. You will also have the risk of having someone hack into your personal computer running your website and not only crashing your web site but also crashing your computer. We offer consulting services to provide this should you desire to go this route.
In order to have a website “hosted” (on a remote server), you will need to register a domain name and sign up with a web site hosting company. Simply Web Services can provide you with both of these and many other web services.
