What is web hosting ?

For a website to be seen on the internet, it needs a web server to reside on. When people visit a website they are actually accessing files on this web server. Web hosting can be thought of as renting space on a web server.

Instead of paying a web hosting company, can I just host my website on my PC connected to my broadband Internet connection?

Technically, yes. There are certain limitations that this would produce however. Chances are, your home broadband connection cannot compete with the high-speed network that most hosts have their webservers connected to. In fact, it would be hard to compete with the infrastructure that many web hosts have in place – eg. uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) systems, physical security, etc. Many ISPs will also not allow their lines to be used in this way unless you have a costly business plan with them.

What Is Bandwidth?

Bandwidth is the total amount of data that your will transfer from your website to your visitors computers per month. It includes both web visits and email traffic. At present less than 1% of our users exceed their bandwidth limites.

Back to questions

How do I upload my site?

The easiest way to upload your website is by using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program. Popular FTP programs include Cute FTP, WS FTP and SmartFTP. Internet Explorer also has a built-in FTP program that can be used. Some programs used to develop websites (such as Microsoft Frontpage®) are able to upload your website files as well. You can also use the file manager located within the control panel. You will need the username and password supplied at sign up.

What is shared (also known as "virtual") web hosting

Shared (or "virtual") hosting means that your website resides on a server that is simultaneously hosting other sites. Your site will be allocated a set amount of disk space and data transfer. Note that although the server is being shared by other sites, your site's files are protected and secure, unable to be accessed by the server's other users.
