Why do I need Website Hosting?

In order for people throughout the world to view your website, those files must be copied or "uploaded" onto a special computer that is connected to the Internet 24 hours a day called a web server.

Web servers are complex, powerful and highly reliable computers that have special high speed connections to the Internet to allow the transfer of files and e-mails along with special firewall software to protect hackers from accessing your files.

When you buy a hosting package, you are renting webspace on a server in order to avoid all of the expense and technical aspects of doing it yourself.

Bandwidth Overage. Client may only consume the amount of bandwidth allocated by the Service to which Client has subscribed. Additional fees will be levied at the appropriate overage charge for exceeding any bandwidth allowances.

Bandwidth and Data Transfer differ slightly depending on the service you purchase from us.

The amount of data sent to/from the internet community through your website is called "data transfer".

Data transfer is metered on a monthly basis, much like water or electricity is metered for your home or business, because the network carriers only have a certain amount of capacity available.

If you think of the internet connection to your website as a pipe, you will quickly get the idea - only so much traffic can go through the "pipe" before it runs out of capacity, this is where "bandwidth" comes in.

If your contact email is set correctly in your control panel, the system should notify you when you reach 80% of your bandwidth limit.
