What is Web Hosting?

Website hosting is a service that allows you to upload and store your site’s HTML documents and related files on our web server. Our server then makes the files available on the Internet for viewing by the public.

What kind of web hosting plan do I need?

When picking a website hosting plan, you need to have an idea of what you want to do with your website, plus factor in a bit of room for growth. Is your website large or are you hosting a large number of images and/or videos? If so, you need a package with a larger disk space allocation. Do you expect to receive high volumes of traffic to your website? If so, you need a package that gives you more bandwidth. Do you need CGI, PHP, and MYSQL functionalities? If so, select the plan that includes these features.

Can I track how many people visit my website?

Yes! With your website hosting plan, you will have access to in-depth website statistics including daily visitors, monthly visitors, website referrers, search engine visitors (and the keywords they searched for to find you!), plus much more. Stats also include graphical charts, making it easy for you to see how you are doing with a quick glance.

What are the advantages of using website hosting versus a free hosting service?

There are several advantages to website hosting over free hosting services, with the first being domain names. With website hosting, you have the ability to host your website at your domain name, whereas with free website hosting, you generally have a long website address under the hosting providers name (i.e. http://geocities.com/yourname/…).

Often times, free hosting services require their advertising to remain on your website. With website hosting through Disndat, you control the content on your website!
