When your web site needs more advanced programming tools than your local Internet Service Provider (ISP) can give, consider the web hosting services of an Internet Presence Provider (IPP) such as Simplex Services.
Your ISP's main job is to make sure you have the best phone connection into the Internet. They also realize you might want web pages so most ISP's make storage space available for basic web sites. Some even offer a few advanced tools (see below) to help you make your site more interactive. For most organizations or individuals just starting out online, this is usually enough.
However, you'll need an IPP when you're ready to move up to more sophisticated interactive sites requiring special features. An IPP offers advanced tools which allow you to use integrated programming on your web pages. IPPs give you the ability to add such things as:

These are additional charges over and above what your ISP charges you. You'll still need your local ISP for your phone connection into the Internet, however, you may be able to reduce their monthly charge.
By upgrading to Simplex Services as your IPP, you may no longer need to pay for duplicate services your local ISP offers. Therefore, you may want to switch the type of account you have. For instance, most ISPs offer a basic unlimited account for those who simply want to "tour the Net" and another for those who need storage space for web pages they wish to post. The first is usually cheaper and is all you'd need once you upgrade to IPP hosting by Simplex Services.
