Although having a website is typically described as simply uploading files to a server and linking a domain name to them, in reality an entire set of services lies below any website which you see online. A few examples would be the ability to create and manage databases or e mail addresses, to access your files via FTP, to check visitor stats and to manage numerous domain records. Each one of these things contributes to your web presence in one way or another and if any one of them is missing or is hard to manage, the overall management of your website can become annoying. In this light, it is essential to not only have 100 % control of your hosting space and domains, but also to have the capacity to manage them easily.
