What can you do with a web hosting account?
Well, run a web site, obviously, but there are plain HTML websites and
then there are application web sites. If you don't already have a website, you
might consider installing (or having installed) one of the many content
management systems available:
Text content management systems will present articles, news, blogs, images, and
multimedia content without knowing HTML programming. We work with my
customers to identify the tool that will do them the most good.
A photo gallery system such as gallery will allow you to display all your
digital images and even allow people to order prints.
Blogging software will allow you to post your thoughts and observations for
others to read
Bulletin Board, or Forum software allows folks to carry on discussions on
topics of interest to your site.
Shared Hosting
Shared hosting refers to a hosting account on a shared server.
-
Basic hosting and Signature are accomplished on a virtual
private server managed by Blestone LLC. Signature hosting affords
more more space, more control and more isolation from other server operations.
