When reading the section titled “Getting Started” on the Digital History website there were several interesting points mentioned throughout. For me personally the information under the subsections of Serving Your Website and Funding proved most informative. These two sections talk about slightly different aspects of beginning websites, however are closely related. Under Serving Your Website  it provides three options for hosting a website based on the size and function said website. The part I found interesting was in the third option, which mentions a commercial web host. When larger websites want to have extravagant amount of storage they pay a monthly cost fee to an ISP. The part that surprised me was that depending on the traffic of the website they can end up paying hundreds of dollars for extra bandwith. One would think that web traffic would help in decreasing the costs that went to the web host. Although this is not the most expensive option it was the least logical and surprising. This brings me to my second ‘discovery’, if you will, under the section of Funding. As you can deduce from the title this explains various ways in which a host can get funding for their site. To begin to sum up the point of interest in these two sections is, money. For many people, myself included, when thinking about the digital age a common idea is the one of larger access to a larger array of information. Free information. A ‘problem’ has become the creation of sites in which people can get free music downloads as well as television shows and movies. In short the money aspect of websites is one that the mass of people don’t tend to think about. It is true that for all the free information given out many websites make back this money and more. The author does not really touch on this aspect, however, after reading about initial start-up costs one can say the question of making money follows after.
