Overview

Web hosts provide space and connectivity for the pages, files, graphics and images that make up your web site. Your domain name is directed (“pointed”) to those files via the web host’s Domain Name System (DNS) server.

Web hosting plans all include several components:

Storage The amount of space you are given to house the web pages, photos, graphics and other files such as music or video that you will offer on your website. It is measured in “bytes”; each one is equivalent to about 1 text character. YouStart includes up to 20 gigabytes (20 billion bytes) of storage in its hosting plans.

Bandwidth The amount of data you can transfer via your website to visitors’ web browsers. A recent survey found the average web page was 130,000 bytes (130 kilobytes or kB). Bandwidth is usually packaged by web hosts in gigabytes (GB) each equaling 1 billion bytes. YouStart includes up to 200GB of bandwidth in its hosting plans.

Email Accounts Individual email boxes included in your plan. A business might set up one mailbox for each of their employees. You can also create “distribution lists” where mails sent to one address like sales@yourdomain.com automatically get copied to several people at once. YouStart includes up to 200 Email Accounts in its hosting plans.

Databases A database enables your web visitors to search large lists of information and return results based on their query. For instance, a web store can put a list of all the items they sell in a database. A record collector can use a database to search their library by title or artist. YouStart includes up to 50 MySQL Databases in its hosting plans.
