A web site, simply put, is a series of files that are linked together. When you type in www.somesite.com, your internet browser is instructed to automatically send you to a specific place to view the files for that site. These files must be kept in a secure location that is specifically designed to handle many users acessing those files at the same time. Once your web site has been designed, we must store the files in a location such as this.
Due to security , bandwidth and hardware costs, fees are required to "host" your web site. Unless you want to spend $20,000 on your own server, this is a cost that you will have to pay, no matter whom you decide to design your site. Hosting is a fee you will pay for as long as you site is running. At Design by Devin, we pride ourselves in offering very affordable hosting. Some companies will charge up to $50 per month to host your site. We offer annual fees starting at $70 per year for personal-level sites, to $250 per year for mid-level small business sites. That means you can get hosting for as little as $6 per month! |
