There are two ways to get your information on the Internet: load the site on a municipal computer and acquire a connection to the Internet, or contract with an outside organization to host your site and make it available to the public.

One large town already had a server and hosts its site in-house. Another city started with an ISP but plans to bring the site to its own server within the next year or two. The rest of the participants use an ISP to host their site. Each is appropriate in different situations and has its own costs and benefits.
