| Data transfer
(bandwidth) |
| Whenever a visitor comes to your site, data is
sent from our web servers to your visitor's computer. This data
can be composed of web pages, images, movies, sound files, programs,
compressed files, or anything else on your site that can be viewed
or downloaded by visitors. All this requested data added together
equals your total data transfer. The more visitors you have, the
higher data transfer limit you'll need. You can always buy additional
data transfer as your site grows. Offered in all web hosting packages

| Domain name |
| A domain name is also called a web address. Like
a memorable street address, it can help people find you online.
You can register your own name, your company's name, key words to
describe your business, or even a short phrase - whatever will make
your web address easy to remember for your friends or customers.
Once your domain is registered, you can build a public web site
at your own web address (e.g., www.my-domain.com) and create
a personalized email address (e.g., me@my-domain.com). Business
Edition offers personolized email addresses, but does not offer
a domain-based web site. The Standard,
Professional
web hosting packages offer full web sites with Business Edition
email. Back to top

and web pages in a folder (called a subdirectory on a web site)
and give your family members usernames and passwords so they can
view the special area. You could also create a subdomain, such as
family.mydomain.com, that can only be accessed by entering a password
you provide to the user. Offered in all web hosting packages -Starter,

collections of third-party modules.

etc. MySQL® is considered the most popular open source database
in the world. Fast and powerful, it is perfect for high-traffic,
heavy-load sites. Using PHP scripting to read and write to your
MySQL database gives you ultimate control of your site. Offered
