First Things First: or, What is a Domain?

A "domain" is your registered web site; you own it. Try to name your domain (web site) something that indicates what you actually do.Try for dot com...but dot net is ok too. If you are a business owner, the name ABC Enterprises is absolutely meaningless to everyone, including search engines. Once you register and pay for your name, that's your copyright and you own it. Whatever price you pay is usually valid for one year. crystalgraphics will do this for you if you choose.

Then we create your pages. Now, someone somewhere has to upload them to their server and maintain the files free of viruses and in place. This is called a host or server provider.

That's what we do. Really Faaaaaaast! 24/7

Measurements:
A byte is the amount of memory space it takes for the computer to store one character, such as the letter "A."
Therefore:
One kilobyte (KB) is equal to 1,024 bytes.
One megabyte (MB) is equal to ........approximately 1,000 kilobytes
One megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes
One gigabyte (GB) is equal to apx. 1,000 megabytes

The average web page is about 50KB (kb, kilobytes) in size. But a small animation like a lighthouse that appears to send a beam around continuously is about 1.28 MB. Sound and animation are huge. One photo can be 450KB.

Graphics and other multimedia files account for the majority of data transfer used. This becomes apparent when you consider that the average text page consists of only of about 5 KB of data, while images can be as large as 50-200 KB in size -- and many images are often incorporated into each web page. Flash files are often very large, along with audio and video files. Live audio and video feeds can also be bandwidth hogs. A three minute MP3 file equals approximately 3 megs per view!

What is Bandwidth? What does "transfer" mean?
Every time someone views your web page all of the data (html code, text, graphics, etc.) within the page must be transferred from your web server, into the visitor's computer, via the internet where it is viewed by a web browser. As a result, the amount of data transfer a hosting customer uses is related to the number of visitors to their site, multiplied by the size of their web pages.

Apple One - Introduced 1976 CPU: MOS 6502 Speed: 1 MHz Onboard RAM: 8 KB Resolution: 60.05 Hz Power: 58 Watts Code Name: NO1

Bandwidth data transfer to a large degree, are synonymous.
3 major factors to take into account:

1. The amount of traffic you receive
2. The size of your site
3. The types of files offered on your site.

How is transfer measured?

Formula: page size x page views X 30days=Bandwidth Transfer
