Website hosting is an often misunderstood
and confusing area of the internet. Have no fear,
Avitrax is here to help! Some of the most common
hosting questions are addressed below in "Hosting
101"
Question: |
What is hosting? |
Answer: |
Quite simply, every
website has to be stored on a special computer that
is connected to the internet 24 hours a day. |
| |
|
Question: |
I see ads for hosting
all the time. Are all hosts the same? |
Answer: |
No, they are all very
different in fact. The two main things that
separate hosting companies from each other are price
and features. However, higher cost
doesn't always mean more features. Many hosting
companies that charge $10-$20/month offer just as
many features as a hosting company that charges
$100/month. |

Question: |
There are lots of free
hosting companies out there. Can I use one
of them? |
Answer: |
There are thousands
of free hosting companies in the world. They
make most of their money by placing a banner ad
on each of your website pages. This is usually
quite unacceptable for a business site. |

Question: |
I own a domain name

right now. Can I just have email? |
