What is web hosting?
 
Web hosting is where an Internet service provider makes a web site available on-line to anyone in the world with access to the Internet. Web sites are placed on computers known as servers running special software. This software makes the web site available to anyone using a program called a browser 24/7.
   
I have standard account with you which includes 20 megabytes of web space. Can I place my site on this space?
  Most of our internet access plans have personal web space for your use. You may use this space is for personal, non-commercial web sites only. All commercial web sites must contract service through our web hosting department. Terranovus.net actively reviews all personal web sites posted on its servers. Commercial web sites on personal space will be disabled until commercial hosting arrangements have been made.
