Choosing a Hosting Plan

In order to choose the right hosting plan, you’ll need to consider a few things:

Design
How was your Web site designed? For example, if you designed an ASP or ASP.NET Web site, you'll need to find a Windows hosting plan. If you have a Web site that uses CGI, you'll need to get a Linux hosting plan.
Traffic
How much traffic or how many visitors do you expect monthly? The more visitors or traffic you expect on your site, the higher the bandwidth you will need.
Size
How large is your site? If you're planning on having a large site with a lot of multimedia content, you'll probably need additional disk space.

What does it mean to host a domain?

Hosting (also known as Web site hosting or Web hosting) is the business of housing, serving, and maintaining files for one or more Web sites. In a sense, you rent space on a computer to hold your Web site. Your host, the computer where your Web site files are stored, assigns an address (DNS) for your files to your domain name so that anyone can find your Web site on the Internet by typing in your domain name.

Transferring Your Hosting Account

You can transfer your Web site hosting from your existing hosting provider to our secure hosting. This Quick Start guide walks you through the steps necessary for successful transfer of your Web site.

What is a dedicated server?

Unlike normal hosting plans, which put many customers' accounts on a single server, a dedicated server is reserved exclusively for the account and usage of a single customer. This means that the dedicated server customer has exclusive rights to their server's bandwidth, memory, and storage space and performance is not affected by traffic and the usage patterns of other customers.

When you purchase a dedicated server, you are actually leasing a server box that is configured and set up according to your preferences, but remains at our data center. A dedicated server account provides you with a dedicated IP address and full control of server usage and software installation, with admin (root) access to the server.

You can use a dedicated server for a wide variety of purposes, including gaming servers, database management, and traffic-intensive Web sites. Dedicated servers are particularly useful for companies and individuals who run very-high-traffic Web sites or applications and who need the bandwidth, versatility, and consistent performance of a dedicated box.

What can I do with a dedicated server?

Unlike normal hosting plans, which put many customers' accounts on a single server, a dedicated server is reserved exclusively for the account and usage of a single customer. This means that the dedicated server customer has exclusive rights to the server's bandwidth, memory and storage space; performance will not be affected by traffic and usage patters of other customers.

All of our dedicated servers provide administrative access, which allows users to run and install virtually anything on the server. As well, our dedicated servers include enough bandwidth and disk space to host and manage multiple data-heavy Web sites on a single server account.

Dedicated servers are particularly useful for companies and individuals that run high-traffic Web sites or complex applications and thus need a level of bandwidth, consistent performance, and flexibility typically not available on shared hosting accounts. Dedicated servers are frequently used as gaming servers, as well.

What can I do with a virtual dedicated server?

Compared to shared hosting accounts, a virtual dedicated server offers you more power and more versatility.

All of our virtual dedicated servers provide administrator, or root access, which allows users to run and install virtually anything on their server.
