	  abstract     = {Recognizing the increasing importance of using the
Internet to conduct business, this paper looks at some related matters
associated with small businesses making a decision of whether or not
to have a Website and go online. Small businesses in Saudi Arabia
struggle to have this decision. For organizations, to fully go online,
conduct business and provide online information services, they need
to connect their database to the Web. Some issues related to doing
that might be beyond the capabilities of most small businesses in
Saudi Arabia, such as Website management, technical issues and
security concerns. Here we focus on a small business firm in Saudi
Arabia (Case Study), discussing the issues related to going online
decision and the firm's options of what to do and how to do it. The
paper suggested some valuable solutions of connecting databases to
the Web. It also discusses some of the important issues related to
online information services and e-commerce, mainly Web hosting
options and security issues.},
