This is the computer or "server" space where your site will sit, so that anyone in the world can access your site 24 hours a day 7 days a week. EONI offers 3 different hosting options.
THE BLOG ALTERNATIVE: If you need neither a traditional Web site nor a hosting plan, our Blogware offering may be just what you want. This is a do-it-yourself online Web log, known as a "blog", that can be used with or without one of our hosting plans and/or with or without an associated domain name.

You can build your own site (see this do-it-yourself advice, if you are not using the services of an independent Web designer) and upload your pages to the server in accordance with instructions provided when you establish your hosting plan. To do so, you may independently use your own choice of software tools, and do the work entirely on your own. Or take advantage of our Web Builder system that is offered free of additional charges with your Basic Hosting account. Web Builder lets you choose from pre-designed visual design and layout templates, to which you add your own personalization or customization by using simple fill-in-the-blanks forms and point-and-click actions, all from your familiar browser.
If you have opted for our Blogware system, described above, you will have access to fill-in-the-blank and checkbox forms that will let you automatically change layouts, color schemes and other site features.
