While your company currently has a website, it is outdated and not very well designed. Hardly anyone visits it$,$ and it doesn$$t provide services such as online ordering or browsing available products. Your idea is to update the website with a modern design and new functionality that will help customers and sales representatives. If this upgrade goes as planned, multiple departments and sales reps will use the website daily for many different tasks and allow the company to serve a wider customer base.

First, you need to decide where you will host your website. The website is currently running from an old computer in the main office, which won$$t be able to support the demands of the upgraded website. Should you purchase a new server and run the new website on$-$premises, or should you host the website on servers in the cloud?
