Some hosting companies use dynamic IP addressing, which means the IP number is different each and every time you connect to the server. Or they have several domains using one IP address. A static IP address provides your site with a never-changing solid address, which allows you to use it when FTPing files, or pinging your site, etc. A static IP allows you to have a true domain name. One MB of disk space can hold several hundred text pages or images.
Most sites use less than one MB of disk space.
This is the amount of network traffic related to your domain. A large number of sites have less than 1000MB of traffic per month, but popular sites could use three or four times that. Almost all site design programs like Adobe Pagemill, Macromedia Dreamweaver, GoLive HotDog, Allaire HomeSite, CyberStudio, HotMetal Pro, Netscape Communicator, and NetObjects Fusion use FTP to maintain your site. If you choose such program to create your web site, we offer FTP access with all account packages. We suggest using the shareware programs CuteFTP for the PC and Fetch for the Mac.
