Web Hosting

If your site is being designed by iPyramidia, then you will need to host it somewhere. It is possible for me to upload to host servers providing free web space, but they usually have a draw back of some kind. Normally, their banners have to be displayed on your page all the time, or irritating pop-up box opens. Sometimes certain facilities are not available e.g. CGI or FTP extensions. These are very useful, CGI allows data to be sent from server to you, i.e. forms, logs and counters. Apart from this a separate email address has to be supplied and their name goes in front of your chosen name of your site. So what are the advantages of buying web

space, absolutely everything, you have your own domain name attached, emails, pop addresses so emails can be sent straight to you, more than enough web space, and a good amount of data transfer allowances per month, (every time your site is visited, data is transferred and if your site is popular, you could pay extra with free web space) among many other useful facilities. I have found that Ghoulnet and 1&1 Internet Ltd to be the best for value and service, however, I would always look for the best for you, if you were to request me to find web space.
