Once a designer or programmer has completed the layout for your web site, that site must be stored on a computer (server) that is connected to the Internet in order for your site to be seen by others. Generally, you will transfer files associated with your web site (text, images, etc) via file transfer protocol (FTP) to our computers.
Once here, your site is given a unique address so that customers anywhere in the world can find you. Then, when someone enters your address into their web browser, our server responds by electronically delivering your site information to their machine. This is the process of hosting.
Hosting occurs 24 hours a day - seven days per week. You or your customers can access the site at any time that is convenient.
As you can see, hosting requires the computer hardware to store your company's pages as well as the ability to process requests for that information properly, delivering it over the Internet quickly and accurately.
Hosting demands the skills and experience of individuals who know how to manage those jobs and eliminate any problems before they arise - whether it be at three in the afternoon or three in the morning. Kelly Freehold delivers those skills and experience with reliable service at affordable prices.
