Web Hosting - Australian Business Directory | LocalBook

Web hosting consists of a company with a server, allowing you to purchase space on it for your website. This provides you with the access to the computer network called the World Wide Web. Many of these web hosting services will also sell you domain names. This is also the process where you will get your IP Address. This IP Address confirms your location on the World Wide Web. Web hosting services might also be called web designers, Information Technology (IT) technicians, help desk support, customer service, call centres, customer support, Geek Squad, computer programmers, Web developers, malware detectors or cloud computing. Each country has a code assigned to it and our Australian one is “AU.”

Cloud computing is one of the branches of web hosting where you can set up contracts where you pay web developers to ensure your website has high uptime rates, effective email communications and customer support. The advantages of the cloud include functionality, storage and scalability.

Web hosting companies can offer feature-rich services to website owners. This might include remote email access, robust storage, customer databases and support for different computer languages. Firms can add or remove functionality by changing their contracts, which is a key ingredient of scalability. This web hosting scalability allows your features to grow as your business grows. Most web hosting firms will offer a minimum up-time rate. They also have better trained IT staff than most businesses.

As you grow, you accumulate more data; eventually, storage can become a problem. The largest cloud computing systems have large data networks, allowing you to store your information online. This is also important for data disaster recovery and backup. This is one of the reasons why firms will outsource services to cloud computing firms. Due to economies of scale, the web hosting firms can offer more affordable services.

Web hosting technicians might be members of the Australian Interactive Media Association, Australian Web Industry Association, Australian Direct Marketing Association or Australian Graphic Design Association. They might have diplomas in Web Development, eCommerce, Business, Electronics, Communications, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science or Network Administration. They might have certifications for Cisco or Microsoft.
