Standard Hosting Features
Data Transfer (GB per month)
Every time a visitor comes to your web site, he downloads a certain amount
of data. The total amount of data downloaded at the end of the month by
all of your visitors is your amount of Data Transfer. Each hosting plan
includes a certain amount of data transfer. Additional data transfer is
available for an extra fee. Please see hosting options for more information
on extra Data Transfer.
Disk Storage (MB)
The amount of actual disk space that your site is allotted on the web
server. This space is used to hold your html documents, asp, images, etc.
Each hosting plan includes a certain amount of disk storage. Additional
disk storage is available for an extra fee. Please see hosting options
for more information on extra Disk Storage.
Domain Registration or Transfer
All Network Solutions domain registrations and transfers are processed
by HostingCentral free of charge! This is the process of establishing your
site's new domain (yourdomain.com) or transferring it from a previous
host to our own servers. For new domain name registrations, Network Solutions
will charge a registration fee of $70, which covers 2 years. After the
2nd year they will charge you $35 per year. You will be billed directly
from them. We host web sites all over the world, regardless of which country
a domain name is registered in. If you need to register your domain name
with an organization other than Network Solutions, all you will need to
do is get the organization to point your domain name to our DNS (Domain
Name Servers).
Unique IP Address
Every web hosting account at HostingCentral is configured with a static
IP address. This means that you are given a unique set of numbers (123.123.123.123)
specifically assigned to your web space. This allows you to access your
web site via a web browser or development tool regardless of the status
of your domain name.
Having your own IP address also gives you the opportunity of publishing
your web site to your new web space before actually transferring your
domain name to our DNS. This results in NO DOWN TIME when transferring
your web site from a previous host.
Some hosts setup multiple web sites on the same IP address which could
lead to many problems including browser compatibility issues.
Unlimited Domain Pointers
Every hosting plan includes the ability to have an unlimited amount of
domain name pointers. This means you can have as many domain names as
you'd like pointing to your web site. (ie: domain1.com, domain2.com, domain3.com
- all pointing to the same area.) These domain names must point to your
root web, but there are ways that you can redirect users into a specific
sub-web within your web site. You will also be able to receive mail via
domain name pointers. Each domain name pointer requires a $25 one time
setup fee. No additional monthly fees are involved.
Please see domain services for more information on pointers!
Unlimited Sub-Webs
You are given administrator permissions to your web site allowing you
to create and delete sub-webs on your own. (ie: domain.com/company1) Each
sub-web can have its own home page. This is very useful if you would like
to organize your web site into different sections or you would like to
have multiple web sites within your main site. There is no limit to how
many sub-webs you can have as long as you stay within your designated
hosting plan's storage and bandwidth guidelines.
