What is Hosting?
A Web hosting business begins with a collection of Web servers, powerful computers stored in secure and climate-controlled environments and permanently linked to the Internet through high-speed data lines. These computers store the Web pages that make up Websites. You can send your Web pages to the host's server using a Web browser interface or a dial-in connection and FTP (File Transfer Protocol). As soon as your pages are installed on the server they become available to visitors and customers on the Internet, providing they have the correct address (www.YourDomain.com).
What is a DOMAIN NAME?
A domain name is a unique address that identifies a computer or network which is connected to the Internet.
Do I need a DOMAIN NAME?
Yes, you do. NetEaseHosting does not offer hosting services for sites without domain names.
How do visitors reach my website?
A domain name generally looks something like www.YourDomain.com. There are other suffixes available like .net; .org; .edu; .biz; .info; .tv; .us and others will soon be added due to overwhelming demand.
When a visitor types your domain name into an Internet browser, it is sent to one of several servers on the Internet that store a master list of domain names. This server converts the name into its assigned IP address (e.g., 123.123.123.123), a number that functions exactly like a phone number - except that the customer's "call" is routed through a network of switches and fiber-optic cables optimized for data transfer. The master list server sends the request to a "Domain Name Server" (DNS) responsible for handling calls to this address. For example, a NetEaseHosting’s Domain Name Server stores the addresses of all the sites located at the NetEaseHosting facility (which could number in the thousands). When the NetEaseHosting DNS receives a call to an address it recognizes, it sends a positive acknowledgement to the master list server and, in turn, directs the call to the server that stores the Website. Register a domain name with NetEaseHosting’s domain registration service.
What is Data Storage?
the space your Website will require on a server's hard drive, ranges from small sites with 25 megabytes of storage space to large business sites that require 250 MB or more. If you need more disk space, you can either upgrade to the next hosting plan or buy extra space by the megabyte.
What is Bandwidth?
also called "data transfer," the term bandwidth refers to the amount of electronic data sent over the network each month in response to visitor's requests. This varies depending on the size of your Web pages and the number of visitors to your site. A 50-kilobyte home page that is viewed by 20,000 visitors each month will use one gigabyte of data transfer per month (50,000 bytes x 20,000 hits = 1 billion bytes, or one gigabyte). Bandwidth is meticulously calculated to the byte. It is best to estimate your expected bandwidth when purchasing your hosting package generously - but not over-optimistically! - and keep track of events and site promotions that could result in sudden increases in visitor traffic.
What are T1, T3, and OC3 Lines?
High-Speed Network Connections - Each line transmits data at a different rate, calculated in megabits per second (Mbps). OC3 lines, which carry information along the Internet "backbone," transfer data at 155 Mbps. This is more than three times as fast as a T3 line, which transfers data at 43 Mbps. In comparison, A T3 line can handle as much data per second as 30 T1 lines; a T1 line, at a rate of 1.544 Mbps, transfers data 54 times faster than a 28.8 modem operating at 28,800 bits per second.
Can I keep my domain name when I change a host?
Yes! If you registered your domain name with another host and now you want to move, you should find your registration records or contact NetEaseHosting (support@neteasehosting.com) and ask us how to control your domain name
What is domain parking?
Domain parking lets you cheaply reserve a domain name for future use and display an "under construction" default page on it. You can register a domain and not park it anywhere but then your site will simply be inaccessible until you get a web host.
