A domain name is a word along with a extension
(.com, .net, .org, etc...) that uniquely identifies your website.
Web hosting is the act of renting space and bandwidth through a company so that you may publish your web site online.
Very simple you may use the text box in the upper
right corner of this page to make sure the name you desire is available for
purchase.
Disk space is the size your website can be.
HTML pages are usually very small, but it is the extra images, audio and video that can take up large amounts of disk space.
Bandwidth/Transfer is the amount of data the
server will allow your site to send in a month. Transfer is usually measured in
gigabytes - billions of bytes.
All hosting accounts come with unlimited email
boxes.
You are able to stream Windows and
Quicktime. The standard is moving towards flash streaming for ease of
access to plugin.
These are all programming languages which are
referred to by their acronyms.
- PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
- ASP: Active Server Pages
- Perl: not an acronym
MySQL is the database system this is used to organize your data.
We accept Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express.
Uploading your site can be done in many ways, but the most popular is
FTP.
When your hosting account is created, you are provided
with an FTP account with host, login and password. Using software such as CuteFTP
or
WS_FTP, you can log into your host. Then,
using the program like a normal windows program, you can drag and drop files
onto your web host. These files become live online instantaneously.
All hosting accounts are configured with Webalizer stats and raw access logs are also available.
All websites are custom designed from the
requirements of each client.
OURGIG does not over-sell (not a little bit, not
at all) other companies will offer much more traffic and storage than 99% of
websites will ever use. What they don't say is if you actually use that
capacity you will use more server resources than can be afforded. In those
cases they will shut you down for crashing a server or using too much RAM.
