To put it simply, it is what you need for your web site to be seen on the internet. Your site needs to be "hosted" on a computer that is connected to the internet and setup as a web server. You could set up your own computer as a server, but that would not be very practical if you plan on having a lot of traffic or "hits" on your site.

First, your computer would always have to be on and always connected to the internet. If you turn your computer off, no one will be able to see your site. Second, a home or small business internet connection is usually not adequate to host a web site... especially if you have lots of traffic. Even a broadband (cable, dsl) connection is too slow when a few people try to access your site simultaneously. Third, running your own server can be a complicated task resulting in many problems and down-time for your web site.

That is why most people and businesses choose to have their web site hosted by a web hosting company. When you choose Pit Row Productions to host your site, you get a continuously connected, high-bandwidth internet connection (hundreds of times faster than a cable modem) on a dedicated web server staffed by a team of internet professionals to keep your site up and visible.
