What is web hosting?
In order for a website to be accessed via the Internet, it must be stored, or "hosted" on a web server. A web server is simply a computer connected to the Internet that stores web pages and allows users to access them upon their request. Wide Open has a great web hosting package available for a wide range of customers, from family homepages, to e-commerce powerhouses.

What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is simply a way of locating websites on the Internet For example, 'www.wideopencom.com' is the domain name for the this site. To use your own name, you need to make sure that nobody else is using the same name, and register it with a service like Network Solutions.
