While talking to a friend last night the conversation swung round to that of analogies and how best to explain “our” world to the non-technical. Using an analogy can help, as for some people the concept of websites, hosting and domains is far too intangible and abstract for them to comprehend.
Hosting companies sell or rent online real estate (space). They can help mark out your plots of land (domains) before you bring in architects (designers?) and engineers (developers?) to build your house or office
Now how far can I take the analogy? 🙂

That’s quite a good analogy alright. Always have trouble explaining stuff like that to clients.
Tom aka the box says
hehe that business card title is a killer 😛
Wish we where making as much money as real estate.
