What exactly is space and bandwidth/data transfer?

Diskspace is the size your website can be. Every single letter on your website has to be stored somewhere on your web host's server. Each letter is one byte, and a megabyte is roughly one million bytes. HTML pages are usually very small, but it is the extra images, scripts, and even databases that can take up large amounts of disk space.

Bandwidth/Transfer is the amount of data the server will allow your site to send in a month. Transfer is usually measured in gigabytes - billions of bytes. Once you go over your monthly limit, a host may either shut your site down for the remainder of the month or it can charge you 'overage.' This overcharge is usually about $2.00/Month.

These are all programming languages which are referred to by their acronyms.

  • PHP - PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
  • ASP - Active Server Pages

Each programming language has its own benefits and uses. It is best that you research on your own to find one that best fits your needs.

What is the difference between pointers, add-ons, and subdomains?

Subdomains:

Subdomains are a way of creating separate accounts within your main account.
The subdomain can be accessed through a separate URL in the form of 'http://subdomain.domainname.com'.

This represents a subfolder within the public_html level of your account and you can create e-mail accounts with the subdomain extension.

Subdomains are often used to make access to subdirectories easier by simply typing in a shorter domain name, rather than the full domain name and the directory name.

Domain pointers, parked domains, domain alias or domain forwarders:

This allows you to point multiple domain names to the same website.
For example: yourdomain.com, yourdomain.net and somethingelse.com can all point to the same location. However, it CANNOT point to a folder on the main domain and it does not have any FTP features.

Add-on domains:

An add-on domain is a secondary domain name that points to a folder (subdirectory) within the main hosting account. It can be added from your cPanel.
Example:
www.seconddomain.com will show the files actually in www.maindomain.com/afolder/

An addon domain will act like a full account; you can create sub-domains, email accounts, and FTP accounts for your addon domains directly from your cPanel .

Do I have to change my domain if I get a new host?

No. Provided that the domain is registered in your name (as it should be), you can simply update your namservers (from where you manage your domain names) to that of your new host.

What is uptime?

Uptime is literally what it means - it is the amount of time your site is online throughout the entire month.

The best uptime would be 100%, but because things can break, many hosts offer 99.9% uptime guarantees. This means that if your site is not accessible for more than 43 minutes in a single month, they will reimburse you, depending on their terms of service.
