A Web site needs to reside on a Web server that is permanently connected to the Internet (so visitors can access it anytime). Maintaining a Web site is known as Web hosting. You can either own and operate your own Web server on your premises or you can outsource these services to an ISP (Internet service provider). Local hosting offers complete control over your site whereas outsourced hosting is less costly and much easier. tech news

This paper discusses about four most practical ways to connect to the Internet for small businesses are analog, ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and cable. Analog connectivity, such as 56K modems, and ISDN connectivity both require dial-up access. This means that every time you need to access the Internet, analog or ISDN modems must dial a number to secure a connection. DSL and cable modem solutions provide immediate access to the Internet without having to dial any numbers. tech news

The four most practical Internet connections for small businesses and branch offices are analog, ISDN, DSL, and Cable explained in this paper. Analog connections are the most basic form of Internet connectivity. ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network), also a dial-up service, delivers up to 128 Kbps performance for faster Internet access and greater productivity. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) provides high-speed Internet access at up to 8 Mbps (143 times faster than analog) over ordinary copper telephone lines. Cable is a shared high-speed connection, which leverages the cable TV lines, and is available primarily in residential areas. tech news

Whereas a LAN (local area network) is a network that links computers, printers and other devices located in an office, a building or even a campus, a WAN (wide area network) is a system that extends for greater distances and is used to connect LANs (local area networks) together. To link LANs into a WAN, you can use private lines, such as the leased T1 connections used by many large companies, or public networks like the telephone network or the Internet. This paper explains WAN and its key components. tech news
