Web hosting: A quick guide

All websites need hosting somewhere and that somewhere is called a server.

Web hosting and web servers can be tricky things, so Mono Industries will take care of all this for you.

The majority of my clients’ websites live on a dedicated server. Clients are given username and password access so that they can update their own sites whenever and wherever they are. Reliable, easy and competitively priced.
