Step 2 - Your Hosting
Getting Started Step 2
Your Hosting
Now that you have your Domain Name you need to buy hosting for your website. If the domain name is the address of the property, the hosting if you like is the actual house where your website lives.
Although we have 4 different packages to choose from we will assume that you will not need the completely 'Unlimited' package. This would be used by a very large business with specific needs and likely to have a dedicated person for their website build working in house. The same with the 'Sentinel' package. It is unlikely that if you are following the step by step guide here that you will need the 'Sentinel' pack at this stage (bear in mind, that it is easy to upgrade to either of those packages in the future).
So, Budget or Small Business
If you are going to use a CMS (content management system) such as WordPress, Drupal or Joomla (or others) or if you intend to have an online e-commerce system such as Oscommerce, ZenCart, AbanteCart or others, you will need our 'Small Business' hosting package otherwise you can start off with the 'Budget' hosting package.
