Although having a website is frequently identified as simply uploading files to a web server and linking a domain to them, in reality a complete set of services lies beneath any site that you see on the web. Just a few examples would be the ability to create and manage databases or email addresses, to access your files using FTP, to check out visitor statistics 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 of them is lacking or is hard to control, the overall management of your site may become frustrating. In this light, it is very important to not only have total control of your hosting space and domains, but also to be able to manage them without difficulty.
