Takeaway: If you host your Web site in house, you'll eventually have to decide whether it makes more sense for you to contract with a hosting provider or continue managing it yourself. This audio Webcast on choosing a dedicated hosting service can help with your decision.

Just as a successful manager knows when to delegate tasks to employees, a thriving organization will understand when it no longer makes sense to handle its Web hosting in house. For many businesses, the decision to choose a Web host comes when the start-up begins to realize its success.

To help TechRepublic’s members sort out their Web hosting decisions, we’ve put together an audio Web cast entitled “10 questions for choosing a dedicated Web hosting service.” TechRepublic Vice President Bob Artner interviews HRSoft’s CTO Dick Tonnemacher, who handles the company’s relationship with a third-party Web hosting vendor.

The Web cast, with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation, addresses strategic and tactical issues including:

• The ability of a vendor to scale with your organization
• What to look for when touring a host’s data center
• Tailoring the Service Level Agreement to best meet your needs
• Redundant connectivity needs
• Physical and electronic security

To hear the interview and view the slide presentation, you can either use Real Player or Windows Media Player.
