What
is Web Hosting? |
|
To
publish your web site online, you need web server space
and bandwidth, which is provided by a ISP. Today many
websites offer free web server space, but it comes along
with banners and pop ups, which are very disturbing
for a user viewing your website. It also does not actually
portray a corporate representation of your company.
Instead opt to get paid web hosting, which gives you
complete control over your site contents. |

What
is virtual hosting? |

Is
a commonly used method by most of people willing to have
a internet presence. This is also referred as shared hosting.

hosted on it, along with your site is called as Virtual
hosting. As many people do not need a a dedicated server,
this option provides to be a reliable and cheap solution.

Do
you offer unlimited bandwidth / space / transfer |
|
We cannot provide any user with unlimited bandwidth or
disk space. To use unlimited bandwidth you have to opt
for separate hosting plans or go for a dedicated web server.
As there are other sites also hosted on our server we
have to ensure that the same bandwidth is efficiently
and evenly for all the websites. We provide the data transfer
based on the type of site and number of estimated viewers
per month. |

|
What exactly is space and bandwidth/data transfer? |
|
All
the contents that are designed in form of html pages,
images or database have to be stored somewhere on our
web host server. Disk space is the size your website can
be. Each letter is one byte, and a megabyte is roughly
one million bytes. HTML pages are usually very small,
but since the site also has images and other database
elements it can take up large amounts of disk space.
The total amount of data that is send in a month for your
website is usually calculated in terms of Bandwidth and
data Transfer. Transfer is usually measured in gigabytes
- billions of bytes. |

What
do I need to do to put Flash on my website? |
|
Flash is like an active X component that runs on the client
side after it is downloaded on your browser. So it is
not necessary to have it on our server. As long as the
user's browser has the correct plug-ins installed, it
will run on their computer. |

How
do I track how many hits my website gets? |
|
To track the number of hits on your site can be done remotely
by using JavaScript's that have to be included on your
html page. Also with scripts like access loggers, hit
counters you can generate the visitor information. This
is usually much more accurate than remotely hosted solutions.
