CNET's business buying guide
CNET editors' picks for access and hosting
By Christopher Null (September 16, 2003)

That AOL or NetZero dial-up account probably won't cut the mustard for your growing business, no matter how small it is, especially if you plan to share Internet access. Broadband cable or DSL access is now available in almost all populated areas of the United States, and even in rural areas, satellite service is usually an option. CNET provides tools for finding cable or DSL in your area, as well as general advice on how to choose an access provider. Once you have a nice big pipe, the next step is to choose a hosting solution and put your business on the online map.
