I
have built a new website, what is hosting ?
Hosting a
domain name means giving it a home on the internet. For a website
to be found it must be hosted on a server which looks after
any internet transactions to do with the domain. At a basic
level you can think of it as renting disk space and a permanent
connection from the internet to your website.
The main
functions of the hosting server are to:
- provide
a home for the domain name itself
- provide
the disk space for the domain's web site
- handle
any email sent to an address @ that domain (although this
can be done on a separate email server in some cases)
- provide
FTP access to allow the owner to log in and update the web
site.
Normally
hosting is charged on a plan, we have listed below a selection
of the plans that we have available. Each of these website hosting plans
covers different things. To select a web site hosting plan
for your business you should calculate the size of the website,
estimate the amount of traffic that the site will receive (1 Gb is about 1,000Mb : 1024Mb to be exact) and look for any features that you must have
for your website (for example do you need a MySQL database?).
1&1 provide
affordable domains and hosting for both personal and business
websites with awesome features AND affordability.
Every new hosting account receives 24/7 phone support, 60 day
guarantee, and £400 in full-version software.Buy your domain from 1&1 - Get the best domain prices in the UK!
