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 web
page (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.

Website hosting is essential
to the success of your website. All successful websites are hosted using their
own unique 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). You cannot do this using the popular commercial
online services such as AOL, Compuserve, Earthlink, Geocities, etc. because
once you leave these services you lose your e-mail address, website
address--and all your hard work. It's something they don't tell you. With our
Website Hosting Service you KEEP your website address and e-mail address
PERMANENTLY.

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, siteleader.com's IP address is 216.87.16.9 .
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. And Siteleader.com can register your domain name quickly and easily
using our quick & easy Domain
Registration Process (secure forms).
