Question:
How Do I Register a Domain Name?

Answer:
Registering a domain name is very easy.

First you will have to make sure that the domain you want is available - using a domain name search on the web found at Register.com or dWhois.net you can make sure the domain you want is available for registration.

Question:
What exactly is space and bandwidth/data transfer?

Answer:
Diskspace 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. Once you go over your monthly limit, a host may either shut your site down for the remainder of the month or it can charge you 'overage.' This overcharge is usually about $2.00-$5.00 per extra gigabyte of transfer.

Question:
What is MySQL, MS SQL, etc?

Answer:
MySQL and MS SQL are database systems. Depending on what your host provides, you can use a database to organize your data.

Answer:
No. Provided that the domain is registered in your name (as it should be), you can simply update your namservers (from where you manage your domain names) to that of your new host.

Question:
How can I pay for web hosting?

Answer:
This depends on which host you decide to go with. Most web hosts will accept credit cards, and some will accept PayPal and/or a Money Order / Cheque.

Question:
What is PayPal?

Answer:
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.
