Although having a site is normally defined as simply uploading files to a web server and linking a domain name to them, in fact a complete set of services lies under any website that you see online. Just a few examples would be the opportunity to create and handle databases or e-mail addresses, to access your files via FTP, to check out visitor stats and to handle various domain records. Each one of these things contributes to your web presence in one way or another and if any one of them is missing or is hard to handle, the overall management of your website could become frustrating. In this light, it is essential to not only have full control of your hosting space and domains, but also to be able to manage them easily.
