What is Hosting?
Hosting means that you found a home for your Web site on our Web servers, which are stored in a secure, climate controlled environment and are connected to the Internet via high speed data lines. We can also help you register your U.S. Domain Name, which becomes your unique Web address. Having your own Domain Name suggests you have your own Web space, and since email can be addressed to your domain (e.g. www.yourname.com), you will not have to announce a new email address if you change Internet providers.

When you have a web site designed, you have to connect it to the internet in order for others to see it. To connect it to the internet, you store it on a special computer called a Server. This server is always connected to the internet. When someone tries to access your web site by typing in your domain name (yourwebsite.com) your web site information is accessed from the server.
“Hosting” or “Web site hosting” means that your Web site files (e.g. web pages, HTML files, stylesheets, scripts and associated images) are stored on a computer (known as a “host” or a “server”) that is continuously (except for hardware, software or communication problems and scheduled hardware and software updates) connected to the Internet via a high speed connection. Billy Fire hosting is backed by a state-of-the-art data center with multiple systems designed to ensure your site is available. This means, for example, that if there is a power outage, the server would be powered by an uninterrupted power supply with backup power generation. Similarly, the connection to the Internet also has redundancy. This means that if one communication line goes down, communication will continue via another.
