Who needs web hosting?
8-10 years ago if somebody wanted to put information on the internet no matter how much or how little, a person had to find web hosting, create a web site and upload their media to their web host’s server. This involved a little bit of research and a learning curve. Things are fairly different these days. The internet is a lot more user friendly and many of its aspects are simplified and made user friendly for the average person. Keeping in touch with family and friends no longer means having to make a web site, we now have very widely used social networks, our photos can be uploaded and shared through photo sharing web sites and our videos are uploaded to Youtube.
So who still needs web hosting? Is there still as much demand for it? The average person may not need them so much anymore but we now have a larger number then ever of small businesses and entrepreneurs who either want to or are already making money on the internet. These people often need good, reliable web hosting solutions with the extra freedom this allows – such as running many databases and custom scripts. Cpanel hosting is especially useful for those who are creating sites and need a user friendly way to maintain it and their databases.
Before you chose a web host, it is a good idea to read up about the topic and get advice on the best web hosting companies out there. There are literally thousands of companies out there competing for your business. Which is why sites such as WebHostGear were created – to help with this often confusing choice by reviewing the different hosting companies that are available out there and rating them. They have reviews across many categories of different types of web hosting including Shared Hosting, VPS, Reseller, ASP hosting as well as Dedicated Servers for bigger and busier sites. For each web host that is reviewed you will find a list of basic specs, features included such as how many sub domains and email accounts you can have, a company profile, a list of pros and cons about the host and you can submit your own review of the web host too.

I am retired, but work a few days a week taking care of 37 computers for a small company. They have a web site that is updated each week. The person that services it has left and want be back. I do a lot of personal work with software work such as potoshop, buildinging idems on a virtural world (secondlife.com. I have an associate deegree in electronics. I use power point and other programs as well as repair computers. I have never designed a web page but would like to learn how and maybe take over the web page for the company I work for.
Can you help me with this?
Hi James, I think it depends on how complex the company’s web site is but at the end of the day there is not much that can’t be learned it’s just a matter of how long will it take to learn. I would have to know a bit more about the site to understand what is involved but as for simply editing text and graphics on a website it is best to start by experimenting. Set up a small web space for yourself and start practicing.
