  What is Virtual Web Hosting?
We hosts your Website, we place it on one of our very fast, state-of-the-art, computers (also called "servers", since the "serve" content up to Web surfers) which are designed specifically to host Websites. The high-speed, high-capacity computers at the Can Host Internet Operations Center are directly connected to the Internet backbone using very fast communication links (much like phone lines, only these lines are bigger, and carry digital data, instead of voices). Your Website resides on one of our powerful servers, yet you can view it and work on it from your own PC. This is virtually like having a our computer of your own, hence the term Virtual Web Hosting.
