What is Hosting? Website hosting is the renting of space on a special type of computer known as a server. Servers are always connected to the Internet via extremely fast connections, and this is where your web pages are stored. When a visitor looks at your website, the information is sent from the server to the visitors computer. Unlike some other hosting companies, we only use professional servers and limit each server to a maximum of 500 websites. (Some other hosts place over 2,000 websites on each server.) Limiting each server to only 500 websites results in faster access speeds and higher stability. To show how confident we are in our hardware and systems we offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Uploading your web pages to your hosting account is simple and can be done via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software or even via your browser. You will also have your own easy to use, yet powerful, control panel to control all aspects of your website including the creation of email accounts, viewing statistics and taking backups. |
