Although having an Internet site is typically defined as simply uploading files to a server and linking a domain to them, in reality an entire set of services lies under any site you see on the Internet. Just a couple examples would be the opportunity to set up and handle databases or e-mail addresses, to access your files using FTP, to check site visitor stats and to control a number of domain records. Each of these things contributes to your presence online in one way or another and if any one of them is missing or is hard to manage, the overall management of your site can become annoying. In this light, it is essential to not only have total control over your hosting space and domains, but also to be able to manage them without difficulty.
