What does "hosting" mean?
A hosting provider leases space to you on its computers and network for storage of your web site. Without a hosting provider, you would have to host your web site yourself, which is impractical under most circumstances.
IP addresses- what are these?
An IP address is the numerical address of a specific computer (or network of computers) on the Internet. IP addresses are mentioned at many hosting companies. Some hosting companies provide a dedicated IP address for each account, others do not. You may be limited by not having a dedicated IP address; for most businesses, you should choose hosting companies that provide a dedicated IP address with each account.
How is web design priced?
Web design pricing can be complicated, depending on the model that a web design company uses. We currently price most web design services, including programming, at an hourly rate. Webspace Enterprises has experience with this pricing model and has found that it is more flexible for meeting customers' needs.
How do I get visitors to my web site?
Increasing visitors is the goal of many web site owners. There are many ways to increase visitors to your web site, including word of mouth, advertising, publications, search engines, and more. Webspace Enterprises specializes in search engine submission and optimization, listing your website on hundreds of Internet search engines and directories. Because search engines are so commonly used for finding information, search engines are very important to getting more traffic to your website.
Web-based e-mail vs. POP e-mail
Web-based e-mail, such as WebspaceMail.com
, is provided to you using a web site interface. You can easily check your e-mail from any computer with Internet access. Your e-mail is not saved on your computer. By contrast, POP e-mail actually saves e-mail on your computer for access using mail programs like Outlook and Eudora. Some POP accounts also provide web-based access so you can access your e-mail when you're not at your own computer.
What is "E-Commerce?"
E-commerce normally refers to transactions made over the Internet, such as customers' orders made on a website paid by credit card.
