Although having a site is often described as simply uploading files to a web server and linking a domain name to them, the truth is an entire set of services lies below any site that you see on the web. Just a couple examples would be the ability to set up and manage databases or email addresses, to access your files through FTP, to check site visitor stats and to handle a variety of domain records. All of these things contributes to your presence online in one way or another and if any one of them is missing or is hard to handle, the overall management of your site can become frustrating. In this light, it is essential to not only have total control over your web hosting space and domains, but also to be able to manage them effortlessly.
