Many people think that they will have huge investments in hardware: servers, telecommunications equipment, etc. to put their business on the web.
Fortunately, this is not the case. With the exception of a relative few huge businesses that are so big they simply have to do it all themselves (you know...the businesses that are still in the red after years of record sales...), most businesses on the web are actually leasing web server space from companies that specialize in hosting.
These companies will set up the servers on their own business premises, maintain the high-speed connections to the Internet backbone, and do all the daily work to maintain and service the servers. All you have to do is just upload your web pages from your remote location.
