1.
What is Website Hosting?
Every
website on the internet has a server computer which
acts as a "host" computer. This host computer
is connected to the internet 24 hours a day. It stores
all of the webpage (html) files, graphics and any
other graphics which your website contains so that
your website and all its contents are available to
users worldwide at all times.

2.
Why do I need Website Hosting?
Website
Hosting is essential to the very success of your website.
All successful websites are hosted using their own
domain names. Website Hosting provides your customers,
friends, and colleagues with the ability to access
your web pages on the internet. It also provides you
the ability to send and receive e-mail worldwide using
your domain name. With our services you will be able
to keep your domain name (for example, http://www.yourname.com)
and e-mail addresses permanently (for example, sales@yourname.com).

What
do I need for Website Hosting?

order to have a website "hosted" you need
to register a domain name and open a website hosting
account with a service provider. We provide both of
these services. You get FREE Domain Name Registration

What is a domain name, and can you register
domain names?
A
domain name is a friendly Internet name address that
provides an easy way for you to locate people, computers,
and resources on the internet (ie., siteleader.com).
A domain name is a part of a computer hierarchical
numbering system that represent IP numbers. IP numbers
or addresses are used by computers to find other computers
on the internet. For example, rdsindia.com's IP address
is 216.22.223.18 . Each IP address has four sets of
numbers separated by periods. IP addresses range from
4 to 12 digits. Each set of numbers range in value
from 0 to 255. Names are easier to remember than four
sets of numbers. Yes, rdsindia.com can register your
domain name quickly and easily using our quick &
easy Domain Registration
Process.

the pages you have created on your computer over to
our internet servers. We will FTP your site on to
the server and give you access so that you can update
or work changes on your site right from where you
