It matters because where your hosts' server is can affect it's speed of connectivity. The more telecomunications backbones in the area (that it connects with) the better the speed should be. That's a matter of connection though, not actual location. Physical location itself shouldn't matter at...

I often back up the files on my webservers, but it's easy to forget the MySQL data. Always remember to back it up, as well as all the related information to get it running again. I lost a complete forum DB in a server move once, even with standard cPanel backups.

That's by no means a full list. YOu always have to remember too, that whatever price you think it's worth, it's only worth as much as someone is willing to pay. If no one wants it, it's worth $0.

Looks nice, but it could do with a little colour ! :p Do you have any more examples of your work ?

It took me a while to work it out, but I got my first computer about 6 years ago and I learnt HTML soon after. It took a few more years to get on the web though, and only for the last 2 years or so have I made public sites.

Be careful when buying based on price. There are lots of places that sell below their own cost, but end up charging extra after the first year, or hijacking your domain for themselves. Pay the extra to go with a reliable company, especially for features that you need.

They control the use of domain names and their management. All domains, no matter who you buy them from, are registered through ICAAN. I believe countries have control over their own particular extensions (Like .com.au for Australia), but ICAAN is the backbone of the domain name / IP address...

There are tons of things that matter, but here's a few of the most important: 1. Simple / Short. Especially one word. 2. a .com extension is obviously the most prized for tye ins. 3. keywords - good keywords in a short domain are very valuable. 4. No hyphens or numerals. Not a biggie. 5...

Just the same as other hosting - look at their uptime, support times, features. Also remember to look at the number of domains you can host etc, which will be more important on reseller accounts. I'd pay attention to the features they provide - my host supplies WHM so it's all point-and-click...

Generally, most small hosts are resellers. Bigger hosts would find it cheaper to run multiple dedicated servers, though they might in fact have them managed by the server provider. There are generally numerous levels of service - Starting with the person who owns the physical location of the...

All the hosts I've seen that offer dedicated servers off management options. Some are included, some charge extra. Unless you have lots of experience, it's a good idea to make sure you get someone to manage it ;)

Unfortunately, there's not many around. The few I have seen for sale are very pricey. Are you keeping an eye on the big domain auction sites ?
