The Practically Networked website got its start in the year 1998, and its aim is to provide practical and easily-understandable information for small network builders. Besides explaining how to initially set up a network, the site has information on sharing methods and network security.

The site is split into two main practical categories. They are the “Products Reviews” pages and the “Troubleshooting & Tutorials” section. As its name denotes, the reviews section is the place to go in order to find a low-down on the latest releases. Moreover, if you are a vendor who has a product that you would like featured in the reviews pages, the site includes contact information for submitting it. For its part, the “Troubleshooting & Tutorials” pages deal with networking, internet sharing security, and “How To” guides. Other noteworthy features of the site include a glossary that sheds light on complicated terminology, and a section that lets the visitor compare prices online. Lastly, the site also features forums that make for the exchange of ideas and information among community members.
