Web Hosting
What is it?
Before a web site can be viewed over the Internet it must be copied onto a Web Server (a specialised computer). Visual Computing maintains its Web Server in a modern computer centre in the UK with direct connection to the Internet Backbone providing a very fast and efficient user experience.
But my Internet Service Provider already includes free web space
Typically the space provided by ISPs is only sufficient for personal use with a minimum of web space and little or nothing in the way of additional features. Visual Computing Hosting provides not only a significant increase in Web Space but many additional features.
The Visual Computing Web Server
In the most demanding environments of web and mail servers, it is widely considered that the Linux operating system is simply the best there is, showing itself to be characteristically reliable, stable and efficient; the Visual Computing server runs under Linux.
If you plan to incorporate work that uses PHP, Perl or MySQL languages, Linux is the solution of choice. Linux is also ideal for the kind of websites that display information as a brochure, in newsletter format or as data sheets. Linux works well in offering interaction via enquiry forms, online purchasing and other e-commerce functions.
And the Penguin? - that's simply the Linux Icon!
