Question 1

What is web hosting, and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

Website hosting services provide you with space on a web server to store your website’s data, such as web files, professional email, and databases. In simple terms, you are renting server space from a web hosting company to build your website or application on. The hosting provider owns and maintains the server, which is where your website’s files are stored.

Question 2

Does web hosting come with a free domain name?

Accepted Answer

A free domain credit is available when you sign up for a 12, 24, or 36-month managed hosting plan. You can use this credit to register a new domain or transfer an existing non-premium domain with one of these extensions: .COM, .ORG, .NET, .INFO, or .BIZ.

Question 3

Can I get email hosting with my domain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can get email hosting with your domain. Email hosting also enables you to use your domain name in your email address. For example, instead of [email protected] , your address can be [email protected] , making you look more professional and giving you more authority with your customers.
