ON OUR SECURE SERVER class="myhyperlink"
Every website on the
internet has a server computer which acts as a "host"
computer. This host computer is connected to the Internet 24 hours a
day. It stores all of the web page (html) files, graphics and any
other graphics which your website contains so that your website and
all its contents are available to users worldwide at all times.

Website hosting is
essential to the success of your website. All successful websites
are hosted using their own unique domain names. Website Hosting
provides your customers, friends, and colleagues with the ability to
access your web pages on the Internet. It also provides you the
ability to send and receive e-mail worldwide using your domain name.
With our services you will be able to keep your domain name (for
example, http://www.yourname.com) and e-mail addresses permanently
(for example, sales@yourname.com). You cannot do this using the
popular commercial online services such as AOL, Compuserve,
Earthlink, Geocities, etc. because once you leave these services you
lose your e-mail address, website address--and all your hard work.
It's something they don't tell you. With our Website Hosting Service
you KEEP your website address and e-mail address PERMANENTLY.

A domain name is a
friendly Internet name address that provides an easy way for you to
locate people, computers, and resources on the internet (ie.,
siteleader.com). A domain name is a part of a computer hierarchical
numbering system that represent IP numbers. IP numbers or addresses
are used by computers to find other computers on the internet. For
example, siteleader.com's IP address is 216.87.16.9 . Each IP
address has four sets of numbers separated by periods. IP addresses
range from 4 to 12 digits. Each set of numbers range in value from 0
to 255.
Names are easier to remember than
four sets of numbers. And Siteleader.com can register your domain
name quickly and easily using our quick & easy Domain
Registration Process (secure forms).

computer over to our internet servers. If you don't have FTP
software we can assist you in obtaining it for free. If you are a
Microsoft FrontPage98/2000 user, you can use the upload option to
