A host is simply defined as a computer system that can be contacted by other computer systems. In other words, if you have a company Website full of text, graphics, audio clips, on-line ordering, etc. then this site must physically reside on a computer that is connected to the Internet. This in turn allows anyone anywhere in the world with internet access and a browser (such as Netscape) to come to your Website.

Why can't I host my own Website?

For most organizations, this is an expensive and unnecessary option. It requires expertise and expensive equipment. You will need experience in UNIX system administration, LAN and WAN networking, routing, setting up gateways, servers, user accounts, gophers, WWW systems, firewalls, security systems, a very fast computer custom configured for your needs, expensive software, a high speed-transmission line, and reliable internet access just for starters. CTI offers Web hosting services to its clients as part of its standard Web site design package. In other words, we will design your site, register your domain, and provide you with a location in cyberspace. You don't have to do a thing. You don't even need Internet access.

What comes with the service?

With our Standard account, you get at least one form on a secure server. This gives you the ability to request sensitive, e.g., credit card, information from your site. You have the capability to implement a full shopping-cart mechanism for on-line ordering. We fully support CGI scripts, JAVA, Real Audio, video, etc. We can custom build you a database if you need it. We will provide you detailed hit statistics and log file reports so that you can see how many times who, what, and when someone accessed your site.
