If the design of a website is akin to the bodywork of a car, and the development akin to the engine, then the hosting of a website (i.e. the server) is the garage where the car is locked up.

The server is the location on the internet from where the website can be accessed. Like with a garage, a server needs to easily accessible and completely secure. Imagine if you wanted to use your car one morning, but when you tried to open the door to the garage it didn’t open, and when you finally got inside, somebody had already been in and stolen your car stereo.

Additionally, imagine if your car was a fast food van and you kept your takings in its safe overnight. The need for a secure garage would be even more important. This is mirrored by the need for a particularly secure server when considering an ecommerce solution.

Other factors you’ll need to take into account when looking at website hosting include the programming languages available on the server, the amount of space provided, the speed of the server, the website statistics packages available and the provision of email services.
