What do I need to know about using my web hosting?
Why Do I Need Web Hosting?
Web hosting is one of the three parts required to have a web site on the World Wide Web. The internet is a powerful medium for starting a new business or rapidly expanding an existing business. Most people start small with minimal disk space and minimal expense.
Step One - Web Design
You can do this yourself using our free design software, or you can buy an easy but powerful web site design software program like FrontPage2003, or you can have an internet design company build the site for you. Our subsidiary offers a complete package of design, hosting, and a domain name for only $600.00.
Step Two - Domain Name
You'll need to purchase a domain name (URL) for your new web site. In the past almost all domain names ended in .com .net or .org until those names began running out. Today, you can choose almost any name you want, by using a different extension such as: .cc .info .ca and .biz plus many more new extensions. Click here to see if your domain name is available.
Step Three - Hosting Account
Finally, you will need a web hosting account on a server connected to the internet 24/7. See our our Discount Plans starting at $5.90 monthly which includes a new domain name that belongs to you.
If you just need a little space to post your blog or current family photos and news, our Personal Plan is a mere $4.90 per month, but does not come with a domain name.
Business's with hundreds of pages, a database, and numerous graphics may need much more space and require services such as databases should look at our E-Commerce plans that also come with a Free Domain Registration! * and start at just $16.90 per month!
All large businesses, and many smaller businesses, have a unique (static) *IP address.
Few hosting providers still offer this to small business customers. However, American Discount Web Hosting does still offer unique IP addresses to all our hosting customers for an additional $1.00 monthly.Our rates and live support cannot be matched by any other American based hosting companies.
