Let
MoonLight Enterprises show you how you can have an affordable,
quality Internet presence.
After you choose a domain name, you must then find a web hosting
company. Hosting companies perform two services. They store
your website files on their servers and they provide the domain
name services. They assign your domain name (the alpha version
- ie yourdomain.com) a numeric web address. All domains have
numeric web addresses underneath the alpha version -- which
enables computers to resolve your web domain.
For example: yourdomain.com might actually resolve to something
like 30.169.544.01.
Hosting company services vary in price. You can pay anywhere
from as little as $8/month to $20/month and higher. As with
anything, price usually dictates quality of service. For less
than $8/month, you can be hosted and have web stats. Webstats
are statistical information about visitors to your site.

What is web hosting and why do I need it?
A domain name tells visitors where you can be found on the
Internet. After registering a domain you will still need a
place to host & store your web pages. Thus, you must separately
associate your domain name with a web page or website. This
is a service offered by a web host.
In
summary, web hosting is essentially performing two services:
1)
Your website files must be stored on a remote server
(computer) and you basically are paying monthly storage fees
for that rented space.
2)
They provide domain email services, as well as the domain
name server (DNS) services that allow your rented storage
space on their computer to be resolved into a dot com, when
someone enters your domain name into a web browser (like Internet
Explorer or Netscape).

What
forms of payment are accepted for hosting?

What about hosting international domain names?
Yes.
Existing international domains need to be pointed to the new
host domain servers. We can do that for you or if you prefer
(and understand the DNS change process) you can log into your
registrar and change that information yourself.
Can I host an adult site?
Sorry,
we do not host adult-oriented* websites.
*
Adult-oriented specifically refers to pornographic.
Can
I have a domain without paying hosting fees?
Yes,
but you must have allowable server space available for your
website. Server space such as an ISP account - which comes
with your dialup or broadband Internet account. Most ISP accounts
will not allow business sites to be stored on their servers
for free - only personal websites.
Domains
can be routed to go to these other servers - allowing your
domain to work - without the costs of hosting. The downside
is that the search engines do not fully index your site, if
the routing is via frames.
Write
to us and inquire further about how this is done - and if
it is an option for you.
