Frequently Asked Questions Q. What is Web Hosting? A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own websites accessible via the World Wide Web. A Web host is in the business of providing server space, Web services and file maintenance for Web sites controlled by individuals or companies that do not have their own Web servers. Q. What is a domain name? A name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name dnetsystems.net represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL http://www.dnetsystems.net/index.html, the domain name is dnetsystems.net. Q. How do I register a domain name? The only way to register and start using a domain name is to use the services of a domain name registrar. Q. What is space and bandwidth\data transfer? Web space, or disk space, is the amount of allocated storage you are given on your web hosting account. This allows you to store files, web pages, databases and graphics. Web space is always measured in MB (megabytes). Bandwidth\data transfer is the amount of data you are allowed to deliver from your site in a given month. The limit is usually calculated in GB with 1 GB usually amounting to 30,000 - 50,000 page views. Q. What are PHP, ASP, Perl? These are programming languages/tools that programmers use to build dynamic websites. Q. What is MySQL, MS SQL? MySQL & MS SQL are database management systems used in the storage, sorting, and retrieval of information. Q. Do I have to change my domain if I get a new host? No. All you have to do is to change your name servers from your domain management tool. Your new host will provide you with this new name servers. Q. What is the difference between Linux and Windows Hosting? Microsoft developed and owns the Windows operating system while the Linux OS is open source and generally free. The operating system you use on your PC does not have anything to do with which server platform you choose. Your choice of server platforms should be dictated by the use to which you intend to put it. The majority of web features run fine on both platforms including PHP, mySQL, POP3 etc. If you intend to create your site using ASP, FrontPage, the .NET environment, Windows Streaming Media, Access, MSSQL, or any of the other Microsoft proprietary technologies then you probably need to use a Windows host. Meanwhile, generic technologies like PHP, mySQL, POP3 can usually be run on any server platform allowing you to focus on the quality of service itself. Q. Once I place my order, how long does it take to get my site up and running? The moment you place your order, you will receive an email at the email address you provided detailing your new account log-in information, as well as the next steps for your account creation. You may log into your Hosting Control Panel at Web Spinners to create and manage email addresses, manage your DNS, and learn how to set up your website immediately. Complete activation typically takes between 2 to 3 business days. Our hosting support team will verify your order processed completely and update your account once the activation has completed. Q. How long does it take for my new domain name to be accessible from the Internet? Web Spinners registers your domain name immediately after you submit the order through our hosting signup tool. Once that order has been submitted, it takes 48 to 72 hours for that domain name to be recognized and active on the Internet.
