The Goal of Art-Host
The goal of Art-Host is to provide an easy to use, affordable way
for independant Artists to create and maintain a website on the internet.
The main feature of the Art-Host hosting service is that it saves the
independant Artist a lot of time from having to design the website themselves.
(Or, it saves them a lot of money from paying someone else to do it.) With Art-Host, the artist
simply uploads images using their web browser to their site. They can
enter descriptions of each image, a price (optional) and even mark works
as "sold". Backgrounds, colors, fonts, and logos are all configured using
the web browser so that one doesn't need to know any HTML to customize one's
site. Every Art-Host account comes with a free, premium account on
http://www.Art-Match.com.
Comparison to other Hosting Services
Art-Host was designed specifically for the independant artist. Most all
other hosting services are of general use where you would still be
required to design the whole site yourself (or pay someone to do it)
and upload the files using tools like FTP. As a special service, Art-Host
would not necessarily be the right choice for websites geared to anything
other than an independant artist.
That being said, in making the service on Art-Host easy to use, you
necessarily don't have the complete freedom to modify your design as
you would with a generic hosting account. If you are considering an
Art-Host account, you should view the example sites by clicking on the

Example 3
With an Art-Host account, you can choose from one of these three basic designs.
Since the information is kept in a database, you can switch between the three
designs with the click of a button as often as you wish using you password
protected Account Manager.
