What is Web Hosting?

Your web site must be installed on a web server that is connected to a high speed connection to the internet in order for it to function properly. This is much faster than is available through normal local DSL and Cable Broadband services.

Web hosting companies provide the servers with high speed internet access to web site developers and end users. They manage all the security, backup and redundant internet access points necessary to provide maximum “up-time”.

PALDOM contracts with a major hosting company for use of its hosting services. We also perform installation and administration technical services associated with your site so that you do not have to be an expert in web hosting services to have and maintain a site.

Where is the host server

The web server could be anywhere in the world with high speed internet access. The service PALDOM uses is located in North Carolina.

Accessing the host

The host can be accessed using standard ftp (file transfer protocols) supported by the internet. If you help maintain your own site content, you will have procedures and tools for sending updated content to your web server.
