Can I check domain name availability?
Yes. You can check domain availability direct from our web site.

What exactly is space and bandwidth/data transfer? 
Disk space is the size your website can be. Every single letter on your website has to be stored somewhere on your web host's server. Each letter is one byte, and a megabyte is roughly one million bytes. HTML pages are usually very small, but it is the extra images, scripts, and even databases that can take up large amounts of disk space.

Bandwidth/Transfer is the amount of data the server will allow your site to send in a month. Transfer is usually measured in gigabytes - billions of bytes. 

What do I need to do to put Flash on my website? 
Flash is a client side feature - it runs on the user's computer, not on your web host. As long as the user's browser has the correct plugin installed, it will run on their computer.

How do I track how many hits my website gets? 
There are a few things that need to be cleared in terms of terminology:
Hits - this simply refers to the number of 'elements' loaded on your site. If one page has five images in it, viewing that page once adds 6 hits (one page + five images).
Impressions - the number of times all the pages on your site are seen (also simply called pageviews). Impressions are sometimes referred to as 'hits' which can cause confusion
Uniques - the number of people that visited your site

So to clarify, if I visit your website, look at two pages, and each page has 5 images on it, then your stats increase by one unique, two page views, and 12 hits.

iNamesHosting provides server-side statistics . You can check your website visitors by login in to your web hosting control panel.

What are PHP, ASP, perl, etc? 
These are all programming languages which are referred to by their acronyms.
PHP - PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
ASP - Active Server Pages
Perl - not an acronym
Each programming language has its own benefits and uses. It is best that you research on your own to find one that best fits your needs.  

Will there be forced advertising on my site - things like banner ads or popup ads? 
Not at all. You are paying for webspace that is only yours - no one may put ads on your site except you. 

How can I pay for web hosting & Domain Name Registration? 
You can us credit card/paypal via secured paypal gateway  and/or a Money Order / Check.

What is PayPal? 
Simply put, PayPal lets anyone with an email address send money to anyone else with an email address.

Each user signs up with PayPal and then enters their necessary banking and credit card information. Once registration is completed, your email address is all you need to send and receive money. For more information go to www.paypal.com

What are subdomains? 
Consider subdomains as an extension of your domain. For example, your site is www.example.com. A subdomain would be test.example.com, and another would be webhosting.example.com.

Subdomains are usually treated as separate sites from the main domain site.

How do I upload my site online? 
Uploading your site can be done in many ways, but the most popular is FTP.

When your hosting account is  created, we will provide with an FTP account. Using software such as CuteFTP or WS_FTP, you can log into your host.  Alternatively you can upload your files via file manger in your control panel.

What is the difference between UNIX hosting and Windows hosting? 
Depending on which operating system to go with depends on your needs.

If you need to support Microsoft products such as ASP, MS Access, or VBScript, then Windows hosting would be better. Furthermore, if you are comfortable with IIS and do not have the time to understand how UNIX works, Windows hosting would again be a better choice.

Why would I need a dedicated IP? 

For most people, a dedicated IP is not required. But for people that want to provide anonymous FTP or a website using SSL, a dedicated IP can make that easier.
