What services should I expect from my host provider?
Hello to all
You should expect ample disk space for your pages. This is usually not a problem. In fact, quite often you are assigned more disk space than you need. But if you know you're going to need to store enormous files, make sure you're getting enough disk space. Also ask for clarification if their allocation of disk space includes just the web files, or if it also includes emails and log files.
Speaking of email, you should expect your hosting company to provide you with the capability to have many e-mail accounts - perhaps numbering in the hundreds. Also find out if they provide mail forwarding and aliases, which are email forwarding addresses to corral multiple emails into one central account. Other communication features should include FTP, or file transfer protocol capability, which allows you to upload files to your server easily.
Have a nice day
