You must pay monthly or annual fees to the company that hosts your website to keep it up and available to anyone that wants or needs to visit your site.

There are many webhosting companies out there. Two excellent ones that we’ve worked with are Yahoo and HostGator. You typically get more disc space than you will ever need to store all the files (HTML, images, etc.) associated with your site. You’ll also get as many customized email addresses as you need. By customized, we mean it will match your domain name. For instance, our domain URL is “AscendWebMarketing.com”. We have many email addresses that use the domain name, for instance, Info@AscendWebMarketing.com. You also get 24x7 customer support.
