Maintaining the site is more about content development than hosting. No real difference from a content maintenance side. The difference would be on the administration side. With the hosted solution, you probably won't have daily tasks; just contract issues & the usual vendor management. Running it yourself, you'll have to ensure site availability, do any config updates, etc. That said, once a site is up & running the daily web server admin tasks are trivial. I don't typically spend any time on our web servers unless there's a config change to make. IT in general should not be doing content management with the exception of CGI coding and the applications that support the content. The real content should be provided & maintained by those responsible; i.e. marketing. You might want to check out some content management systems. John A.

Since I'm the whole IT department, we're leaning to having an outside firm design and host it initially. I'm concerned about the amount of time it might take our personnel to keep it 'fresh' so customers keep coming back. My thought is that the setup is just the beginning, it's just as much work to keep it up as get it up (the web site I mean). If an outside firm hosts it, does that save a lot of time? If we host it ourselves, does it become a fulltime job just to keep it up and fresh? Yes, I realize it's a loaded question and the answers will contain some "it depends".
