To have a presence at the Web implies configuration, installation and maintenance of hardware, software, applications, communications' equipment, backup systems, security tools, etc. Besides, today it is strictly necessary to count on a 24 hours, 365 days' service. For it all, the exploitation of an efficient and rich Web site is a complex task with a high price. For many businesses, whose interest focuses in basic competence, the externalization on the Web (that is to say its lodging -hosting- in a specialized company) constitutes more than a very attractive offer.

The objective of InterHost is to dispatch contents with the maximum efficiency and security, to the highest possible number of users, in any moment and place. The previous proposal, even in its simplicity, is sufficiently general and ambitious: includes also the concept of data systems' hosting and of Supplier of Applications in Network (ASP) in the understanding that a content is an elaborated information (by an application).

InterHost was created as an initiative of Group SATEC in order to offer to the market, a complex hosting service, and therefore is aimed to institutions as well as businesses that wish to have more than just a Web site's appearance. InterHost tries to cover the market's lack of full data systems, a complete package of data system's hosting, management, business and commerce based on the Web.
