Although having an Internet site is generally described as simply uploading files to a server and linking a domain to them, in fact a complete set of services lies below any website you see on the Internet. Just a couple examples would be the ability to create and control databases or email addresses, to access your files via FTP, to check on visitor stats and to manage a variety of domain records. Each of these things contributes to your presence online in one way or another and if any one of them is lacking or is hard to handle, the overall management of your site may become irritating. In this light, it is essential to not only have full control of your hosting space and domains, but also to have the capacity to manage them easily.
