Your Domain Name is your address on the Web. Just like people use your phone number to call you on the phone, your Domain Name allows people to access your site on the Web. Clever, simple, or easy to remember Domain Names are most desirable as they can play a large part in attracting visitors to your site. Most Domain Names end with ".com" (such as sudanwebhosting.com), but other extensions such as ".net" and ".org" are also available.In addition Domains can be used with your e-mail accounts allowing you to send and receive e-mail with addresses such as support@yourcompany.com

When we registers a new .com, .net, .org domain name, the domain name is registered under your organization name or company name you provide during the sign-up process. You are the owner of your domain name and you can move it or make changes to your domain name details directly with your domain registrar.

We can register a domain name with a .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info extension as part of our signup process.

After these steps, it is up to the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) around the world to update their DNS to recognize your domain name. Most major ISPs, such as Earthlink and AOL, update their DNS several times each day. However, smaller ISPs may update their DNS less frequently. Therefore, most of the world will recognize your domain name within a day, but it may take up to two days for the entire Internet community to access your domain name.

To help you understand web hosting, we have developed a simple analogy. But first, some definitions:

· Web Site - a group of files and programs that reside on a very robust computer connected to the Internet.

· Web Server - a computer that stores the files and programs that make up the site, and then allows visitors to access and read those files.

· Web Host - an interconnected group of web servers containing web site data, that other computers can access through the Internet. Web hosts also provide technical resources and web site maintenance.

Now, think of a web host as a landlord. A landlord builds and maintains the structure, then rents storefronts to various businesses that otherwise cannot afford their own buildings. Each business decorates and operates their store differently and leaves building maintenance to the landlord. Likewise, a web host rents space on a web server to various businesses. Each business builds its own web site while the web host maintains the network of web servers.

There are four basic items you should think about when selecting the right web hosting package:

· How large will your web site be? Estimate the number of pages your web site will have and their content. How many images, music files, video files or other content do you plan to add? The more pages and files, the more disk space you will require.

· How busy will your web site be? Estimate the number of customers who will visit your site on a busy day. The more people on your web site, the more data transfer you will require.

· How many email accounts will you need? You will probably want a separate email for each employee and a few addresses for things like sales@SudanWebHosting.com or info@SudanWebHosting.com.

· How important will your web site be to your business? Is it so critical that without a web site your business will fold, or is it more of a competitive advantage that increases your visibility in the market? The more people who use the site and the more it affects their decisions and actions, the more important a web site is to your business.

You don't have to invest tens of millions of dollars, or endure technical headaches, in order to create and maintain a world-class network like Yahoo! We monitor the network. We protect your data. You focus on your business.

If you have a site created or intend on creating a web site for your domain name then the answer is yes you will require web hosting.

Yes! We offer atleast one email forwarding or unlimited pop3 accounts with all our web hosting packages.

No Problem! You can choose to set up an email forwarding account this option can also be used for pop3 accounts. Email forwarding package is unlimited and therefore you can have as many accounts or forwarders as you desire.

This is a considerable amount of transfer. To offer an idea of what this actually means, an example is as follows. An average size web site with average size pages receiving approximately 80+ unique visitors per day would equal approximately 400mb transfer per month

This is generally more than enough space. To offer an idea of what this actually means, an example is as follows. An 8 page web site with approx 20 images including logo, photographs and other images would be approx : 0.5MB-3MB. To find out the size of your entire site you can navigate to the directory in which you keep your site. (Usually in C:\Mywebs or My Documents or wwwroot e.t.c.) Then Right Click on the folder. Choose Properties It should say SIZE = xxxxx

1.You must have an FTP Program. (Or Frontpage Extensions) There is more in-depth documentation/information   .
2.You can also upload your files by using webbased upload interface in your control panel.

Yes! 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

We can have your account set up immediately, but your domain name will not become active until it has fully transferred or fully propogated.(See table below for more information) With FREE domain transfer: UK domains = 4 hours (average) from transfer completion. TLD domains = 6 hours (average) from transfer completion. Other domains = 10 hours (average) from transfer completion.

Yes. One of the most important features of our web hosting service. All domains will be functional both with and without the www.

No, We have NO domain transfer charges, IN or OUT.

Apache is the name of the software that allows you to run a web service on a Unix server. Apache is very popular and provides access to most web sites on the Internet.

Unix has a proven track record of performance, stability and security. It has been in a state of constant refinement since its inception 30 years ago, and is based on open standards, allowing easy access to operating system features and applications. Unix is, by default, text-based and does not use a graphical user interface (GUI), which means it can dedicate the full power of the server to your web site.

There are many options available when it comes to writing CGI scripts on a Unix machine. The most common at the time of this writing are PHP and PERL. There are many introductions, tutorials, and even sample scripts available on the Internet when it comes to PHP and PERL.

That depends mostly on the web hosting provider you select to host your website. There are many flavors of databases that run on Unix, but the most prevalent among web host providers are mSQL, MySQL., and PostgreSQL. These databases are all relational in nature, and allow highly optimized communication with your website for quick retrieval of information.

That depends on what you mean by "hosting your site". If you plan to host the site yourself, and you own the web servers or the software on them, then Unix (or Linux) would definitely be a less expensive option. If you plan to sign up with a web hosting company, and they own the servers and the software installed on them, you will find that there are excellent hosting options available for each platform at very comparable prices.

Yes. Sudan Web Hosting includes support for Microsoft FrontPage 2002. You can create author accounts and grant access to specific subdirectories, so colleagues or others can publish pages to your web site without logging in to your account or requiring your assistance. FrontPage 2002 adds convenience, speed, and security to web site creation and maintenance.

If you already have a domain name with another registrar, you can easily transfer it to Sudan Web Hosting when you purchase a web hosting package.

This is not a registrar transfer. Moving a domain name means directing your name servers to Sudan Web Hosting.

Your original registrar must make this change for you. Your domain name registration remains with your current registrar and you are responsible for all ongoing domain name registration/renewal fees.
