Web hosting is a service that provides, at a minimum, storage space on a server (a specialized computer and there are MANY making up the Internet) and bandwidth which allows the data (Web pages, images, etc.) stored on the server to be transferred to the browsers of those viewing the data.

Web hosting is a service allowing your Web site to be connected to the Internet at VERY high speeds via our servers.

Domain Name Registration

Since you have made it here to our site, you're familiar, at least in principle, with domain names. A domain name is the text you type into your browser's address bar to access a Web site. It is a unique name that identifies the site (i.e. TheGreatE-scape.com or www.thegreate-scape.com).

The "TheGreatE-scape" portion of the domain can be anything at all as long as it's a string of alphanumeric characters with or without a dash. The '.com' portion of the above example is called the TLD or top level domain. The TLD can denote a location or country (TheGreatE-scape.de would normally be a site in Denmark) or an association (.edu is used for universities and colleges in the US).

You will need a domain name so that your site is easily accessible on the Internet. Domain names must be registered in order to be used. Many web hosts (including THE GREAT E-SCAPE®) provide domain registration services that allow you to secure your domain name.
