Internal hosting for a website refers to a company possessing its own servers and hardware dedicated to its website's files and bandwidth. Everything is run and managed in-house, and all of the equipment, technology and support are provided directly by the company itself.
What Is External Hosting?
External hosting for websites includes buying service space and bandwidth capabilities from another company. Large hosting companies, ranging from Host Gator to Go Daddy and dozens of others, provide a variety of plans with different monthly fees. This enables businesses of all sizes to have a website without the need for their own equipment and resources.
Pros and Cons of Internal Hosting
The advantages of internal hosting include direct oversight and control. When everything is properly set up, maintained and scaled, it provides maximum reliability. Drawbacks include the upfront costs of purchasing servers and other equipment, as well as the need for IT staffing to manage and support the server and network. It requires special attention and care for installation and ongoing maintenance.
Pros and Cons of External Hosting
External hosting is typically cheap, and easy to get started with. Hosting plans for many companies start at $10 per month or less, no equipment needs to be purchased and no additional staffing or other resources are needed. Support and security are provided for the business as well. Drawbacks include a lack of direct oversight and the potential for increased downtime or outages depending on the scale of the hosting plan that's purchased.
Choose Based on Needs
No single solution will work for every organization or business. Choosing between internal hosting and external hosting for a website means thinking about the needs, resources and desires of the particular enterprise. Choose a solution that will be easy to implement and work with, and will provide the greatest range of benefits that the business hopes to achieve based upon its size and the nature of its operations.

How to Plan an Evening Business MixerIn Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Although multiple members might step up to host a business mixer, matching the location to the expected turnout is key to a successful event. For example, during the spring, a spacious waterfront restaurant provides an ideal venue for an outdoor barbecue event expected to draw 150 or more attendees. On the other hand, a financial-services business might have plenty of mingling room for an expected turnout of 40 to 50 business owners and professionals.
Mixer Structure Provides Variety
While all business mixers provide networking opportunities, many also feature value-added segments that help members promote their businesses. For example, attendees may briefly describe their businesses in front of everyone at a Chamber mixer. At another mixer, organizers might shine the spotlight on new members, introducing them to a roomful of potential customers. Members who donate a door prize usually receive special mention. Organizers invite the hosting member to present a longer pitch about an aspect of her business. Most mixers feature a business-card and promotional-materials table in a prominent spot.
Right Refreshments Are Necessary
Each hosting member makes his own refreshment choices, with some business owners opting for a “do it yourself” approach and others contracting with a catering company. Hosts generally serve easy-to-handle finger foods and appetizers along with nonalcoholic beverages. Other hosting members might include beer and/or wine. If you match the quantity of refreshments and attendees, everyone will have sufficient snacks and drinks for the entire evening.
Promotion Gets the Word Out
Chamber staff generally promote evening business mixers in the organization's print and/or electronic newsletter. Staff members often send out an extra e-mail blast that reminds members of the upcoming event; and the event likely appears on the Chamber website. Sending a brief description of the event to local newspapers frequently leads to additional coverage and attracts curious member prospects eager to check out the group.
