| Q8. |
Will I have forced advertising
on my site like I do on Geocities, etc.? |
| ANS |
No. None of the
web hosts listed in our database force any kinds of ads on your
site. In fact you can put your own ads if you'd like. |

| Q9. |
What is domain parking? |
| ANS |
Domain parking
lets you cheaply reserve a domain name for future use and display
an "under construction" default page on it. You can
register a domain and not park it anywhere but then your site
will simply be inaccessible until you get a web host. Some registrar
let you park your domain for free. |

| Q10. |
What are the numbers listed
under "space" and "transfer"? |
| ANS |
Space is the
amount of "stuff" you can put on your web site. Available
space is usually listed in megabytes (MB, millions of bytes).
Single letter takes up one byte. HTML files are usually rather
small (this file is about 25,000 bytes) but pictures and programs
can get quite big. Your scripts, emails and stats will also
take up space on your host.
Transfer is the amount of "stuff" that visitors to
your site can download before you reach your monthly limit.
Transfer is usually listed in gigabytes (billions of bytes).
After the transfer limit is reached for the month, you will
need to pay extra for additional transfer at higher rates. For
example, if an average visitor to your site views 3 HTML pages
of 20 KB (thousands of bytes) each and 8 small embedded pictures
of 10 KB each, and you get 500 visitors per day, you will require
at least
(3 * 20 + 8 * 10) * 500 * 30 = 2,100,000 KB = 2.1 GB of transfer
per month. |

| Q11. |
How do I upload my site? |
| ANS |
The main method
of uploading files to your site's account is by using FTP. When
you sign up with a host, you will probably get an FTP account
that lets you access files in your account (usually ftp.yoursitename.com,
your main account name and password). Then you can use a built-in
Windows or Internet Explorer FTP client, or some other software
that supports FTP such as CuteFTP, WS_FTP, or Total Commander,
to transfer files from your hard drive to your account. If you
don't get an FTP account or if you prefer a Web interface, you
can use your account control panel's File Manager instead. Yet
another method is to use an SSH or telnet client software, such
as SecureCRT, to upload using Zmodem protocol
(sz and rz commands).
All these methods will work fine, but we recommend using dedicated
FTP programs as the preferred solution because these programs
have the best user interfaces and support advanced options like
setting file permissions and resuming aborted file transfers. |

| Q12. |
What is uptime? |
| ANS |
Uptime is the
percentage of time that a web site is working. For example,
if some host has an uptime average of 99.86%, this means that
your site will be down for a total about 1 hour each month.
We monitor uptime of customer websites of many web hosts and
we display this data on the host's details page. Some hosts
also offer "uptime guarantees" but this is not as
valuable as it might appear. |

| Q13. |
Can I use Java applets, JavaScript,
and Flash pages on my site? |
| ANS |
Yes. Those are
client-side technologies, so the host doesn't have to do anything
to support or enable them. Any browser (such as Internet Explorer
or Netscape) that supports them is enough, so any host will
do. It doesn't matter whether Java or Flash are listed among
the plan's features, they are supported by default. |
