ISP's and Web Hosting

Do You Have Server Space?

You may already have server space provided by your ISP to store your web pages. If not, they may provide that service with extra monthly charges. Consider hosting your pages with a Provider who does not use their servers for Internet connections.

Internet Connections

Some ISP's provide Internet service, and server space for your home pages. This is great for your personal sites and family photos, but it may not be as reliable as you need for your business. While your ISP is serving up your Web pages, they also have users dialing into their service. This can slow the loading time of your site.

Check the Price

Although it's easier to pay your ISP for all your Internet needs, they may be charging more than it's worth. Compare the amount of disk space, e-mail accounts and bandwidth to other web hosting companies. ISP's usually charge more for less service.
