Self Web hosting

Hosting the web site yourself means that you will need to have the right equipment, including a web server and a permanent connection to the Internet. You would need to ensure that your Internet service provider (ISP) allows this type of usage too. You would also need to have web site administration skills such as managing/configuring a web server, patch management, firewalls, virus protection etc

Most people don't do their own web site hosting. Even if they have the skills or equipment, it often makes more sense to hand this task to a third party who can monitor the web site 24/7.

Finding a Nigerian Web Host

Finding a Nigerian Web Host
Just about anybody can create a presence on the Internet. Building a web site can be as simple as using a word processor, but once you have the site you need a way to publish it on the World Wide Web. Whether you use simple web editing programs or you use advanced html editors, your will only save your web file in your local computer. For it to be seen all over the world from the internet, it has to be placed on a web hosting computer. This computer has the software, broadband internet connection and other hardware to keep the computer running all year round. The companies that do this are called web hosting companies. E.g Softpalms.com
A web hosting company rents you disk space and provides all the services necessary for others to see your web site on the Internet. A web host is expected to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so that anybody in the world can access your web site at any time.
What is a Web Server?
Whichever hosting company you choose, it helps to understand some of the technical details about their service. Every host has dedicated computers called servers which connect to the Internet and ’serve’ pages when they are requested. That is, whenever anyone wants to see a certain web page by clicking on a link the request is sent to the particular server where that web page is stored. The server responds by sending HTML data across the Internet. A web server must have fast connections to be able to serve pages quickly. For the greatest speed and reliability try to find a host that has multiple high-speed connections as well as reliable back up power supplies in case of power outages.
There are literally thousands of web hosts to choose from but very few to choose from in Nigeria. So in choosing a web host in Nigeria, whether you’re staying in Nigeria or not, visit more often as I post my experiences.
