# Choosing a Publishing Location

## Previous Step

This article is part of the "Setting Up Your Host" procedure. The previous step of this process is the "Host Overview."

## Choosing a Location

Sandvox allows you to publish to a remote Host, or to your own computer.

### On Your Computer

Publishing to your computer is generally not suitable for a home setup. It requires the computer to be turned on all the time and accessible from the Internet. Ideally, your computer should also have a static IP address, but you can instead make use of a service such as Dynamic DNS.

### On a Remote Host

Publishing to a remote Host works by uploading your website to a server on the Internet. You might buy this service from a hosting company, or use webspace provided by your ISP, workplace or academic institution.

If you are looking for another host, consider those that Karelia recommends. Links to these recommended hosts are in the lower right corner of the Publishing Locations screen. (Not shown in this screenshot)
