What’s a Host?
A Host is the place your website resides. The Domain Name is the address that points to this host. So your host is like your house and your domain is your address. You can also have hosts that are more like apartment buildings where there are multiple addresses all on the same host.
The other important thing to remember is you still need a Domain Name for your hosted site. Usually it is easiest to get both your host and your domain in one place like HostRocket.com.
What’s POP Mail?
POP Mail is an email account that gives you more options. You can usually send and receive larger attachments as well as be able to use software like Microsoft Outlook to send, receive, store and archive your mail. It’s better than options like, Yahoo, Hotmail and other online email accounts. Plus if you use a host like HostRocket you still have Webmail that links up to your POP Account so you can check your email from any computer with internet access.
What’s SEO?
SEO or Search Engine Optimization is often one of the things we are asked about most. “What about search engines?” ”How do I get found on Google?” Unfortunately, these are questions with no easy answers. SEO is an ever changing monster. There are some standards that we follow when building a website, and those help. We will also submit your sites to the major search engines.
WARNING
Don’t trust the thousands of sites that guarantee SEO results. The only way to GUARANTEE you will get top placement on Google, is to pay for it.
What is Flash?
Most of the time, if there is movement or music and sound effects, on a website, that’s Flash. Unfortunately, there are those that don’t have Flash installed. Most operating systems have it installed with the computer, but, never the less, you may not have Flash yet. That’s ok it’s free and you can
get it here.
