Requirements for an Intranet. You have the option of where to store your new Intranet. You can store it locally on a machine at your workplace, or you can store it remotely on an external web server (Recommended). If you decide to host your Intranet remotely, we will simply book a Domain Name and Hosting. We always recommend storing your Intranet remotely to ensure that if the systems within your workplace suffer a failure, your Intranet will still be secure. Your staff will be provided with a username and password for exclusive access to the site
