FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Web hosting is the business of housing, serving, and maintaining files for a website. It is where all the files that make up your website and e-mail can be found. Hosting removes the need of you having to provide and maintain expensive and complicated Servers.

Typically, an individual business hosting its own site would require a high speed connection, the Server hardware and the expertise to set-up and configure a web Server. Using a hosting service allows companies and individuals to get on to the Internet without the expense or effort of maintaining their own Servers.

Having your website hosted also offers many benefits:

• You can use your domain name as your web address
• You can use your domain to send and receive e-mail
• Support for more advanced features such as CGI, PERL, ASP, PHP etc.
• No server/hardware expertise needed

If you have a domain name and want a web site, blog or online shop under it, you will need web hosting. Simply put, web hosting provides a way for people to access your web site via the Internet.

When you register a domain name what you are paying for is the right to exclusively use it for a fixed period of time. Many registration companies provide additional free features with the registration such as forwarding services, so you can point your domain at an existing web site and email address. If you don’t have an existing web site or you want to do more than just point your domain elsewhere then you need to start thinking about web hosting.
