Personal Web Hosting

@datec Personal Web Hosting is a service that will allow you to set up your own home page on the Internet. A personal home page is somewhere you can tell other Internet users about yourself, your family and friends, and maybe even your pets. It is a place where you can publish your 'Favourites' (links) for others to follow, or you could create a site devoted to your favourite hobbie, or even a private business venture.

Really, there is no end of things you can put on your home page. If you're a technical type, you can even use Javascript and Java applets to make your pages dynamic. The sky's the limit! (well actually 5MB is the limit but still).

If you don't really know how to go about making your own pages or even if you're just not particularly confident then the @datec Web Development Division can help you to create your web pages for a modest fee.
