As companies are constantly increasing their Web presence, hosting service providers are offering an array of solutions that also include corporate e-mail options. The prices for these services are also falling constantly. Today, most small companies have loaded their Websites with static pages carrying corporate information. However, advanced companies are exploiting the Web by creating intranets or extranets that provide connectivity to their employees, buyers, and suppliers.
