Host Your Web Site for Business or for Family

The Internet is a whole new way of providing information, products and services to your customers. Also, it is a great tool to share your ideas with friends and family members. The Web becomes a new media just like newspapers, radio and TV. To take advantage of this new media, you need a Web site, and you need a Web server to host the Web site.

There are many software programs that can help you to create a Web site, ranging from free shareware programs to commercial software packages such as Macromedia Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe PageMill and GoLive. After you get your Web site created, the next step is to find a Web server to host it so that everyone can see it. The GallantWEB is just what you need!

Utilizing the Web hosting service of the GallantWEB, you can easily set up multiple Web sites - one for your business, one for yourself, and maybe one for your family! All that is required is that you have a full-time Internet connection. With the mass deployment of high-speed Internet services such as DSL and Cable modems, it becomes very practical to host your own Web sites.

The Web server on the GallantWEB is powerful enough to support millions of visits a day. Of course, if you expect many visitors and the speed of your Internet connection cannot handle that kind of Web traffic, you can deploy the GallantWEB at a co-location data center, just like what we do at Gallantry -- The Gallantry Web site that you are viewing right now is hosted on a GallantWEB.

GallantWEB supports HTML pages, CGI programs and Microsoft FrontPage Extensions. This means that you can use a lot of available software tools, including the software programs mentioned above, to create your Web site. You can also add dynamic contents such as fill-in forms and animation to your Web site.

Publishing your Web sites to the GallantWEB is easy. The GallantWEB accepts Web publishing through either Microsoft FrontPage Extensions or good old FTP (File Transfer Protocol), from either the Local Area Network or over the Internet. All Web site creation tools support these Web publishing methods. No matter if you make your Web site in house or hire someone to design it for you, you can get the Web site online in just a few minutes.

File Transfer Protocol for File Transferring

Very often you want to send or receive a file that is too big for typical email transfer. FTP Server is one of the most commonly used file transfer alternatives. The GallantWEB allows you to set up a FTP server in a few easy steps so outsiders may download or upload files from or to your GallantWEB.

Should you already have an NAS server, the file received from the FTP server can be shared simultaneously by all the desktops. There is no need for another expensive file server such as those offered by Novell or Microsoft. FTP server is also commonly used for loading the web pages designed with Web authoring tools to the Web site.
