Website Hosting
You need a place to host your website i.e. this is where your site is located (linked to your domain name) and where users will go to visit your web page and its content (information, pictures, videos, products etc.). Your hosting allows you to have website content online and there is an affiliated cost because you are storing your content using a company’s storage location and will also receive technical support to assist your web application and emails functioning optimally. Hosting servers with New Perspective Design get bi-weekly security checkups and are also backup up. Your hosting server will also generally act as storage space for your domain email accounts or webmail server.
Really Good Example: You want to put your belongings in a storage unit. You will pay the storage company for storing your belongings there, and the more storage you want the more you pay i.e. 50 square feet of storage space would be more than 20 square feet of storage space. The same thing applies for a website. 100GB of storage will be more than 50GB of storage. No worries though, New Perspective offers several hosting packages to suit your website needs.
