 What is Virtual Hosting?
 
 Virtual Hosting 
                  allows us to host more than one domain on the same physical 
                  server. So rather then having you purchase your own dedicated 
                  server, you should take advantage of Virtual Hosting. This saves 
                  you time and money. When someone visits your web site, they'll 
                  see http://www.yourdomain.com in the address bar giving them 
                  the appearance that you are on a dedicated server. 
 Why do I need a Web provider? A Web page can be stored on virtually any computer connected to the Internet... 
But ProHosting knows how to do it right!
 We provide a stable, feature rich environment which allows you to create a feature 
rich web site without having to worry about all the technical stuff. This allows 
you to spend your time building your Web site........
 
 How long does it take to setup a new account? The 
quickest way to get an account setup with ProHosting is to pay via credit card. 
If our order form is filled out using a credit card before 5:00 PM MST, your account 
will be setup that same day. When paying via check, your account will be setup 
once payment is received.
 Once your account is activated, you will be sent an email containing your username, 
and instructions on how to access your account. You will also be assigned a temporary 
address to use while your domain name is being registered or transferred.
 
 Your domain name may take longer to setup or transfer to ProHosting. For more 
information on domain registration, please visit our domain registration faq from 
our support section (http://www.prohosting.c/web-hosting-support/index.htm).
 
 Will ProHosting design my Web site for me? While 
ProHosting doesn't directly offer Web design, we provide service to many excellent 
Web design professionals.
 At any time, we can provide you with a list 
   of references. This gives you the opportunity to find a Web designer that 
   fits your needs.
 
 Can I use my account for commercial purposes? Yes, you can use your account for commercial or any other 
   purposes as long as its not in violation of ProHosting's Acceptable 
   Use Policy. The World Wide Web has become one of the most efficient and 
   cost-effective means of making information and products available to users 
   of the Internet community. 
 Can I resell space within my own account? Under 
plans A and B, you can re-sell space for other web sites, however, you will 
be responsible for its content and data transfer. You will not be able to acquire 
multiple passwords for FTP access. 
 You cannot resell space under plan C.
 
 Does ProHosting accept international orders? Yes. 
While ProHosting can handle the hosting and domain registration for .com, .net, 
and .org domain names, we can also host domains with different extensions. If 
your domain name isn't .com, .net, or .org, you will most likely be required to 
handle the domain registration. 
 Can I use multiple domain names with my ProHosting account? Sure, for more options on Domain 
Aliases and Sub-Domains, please visit https://www.prohosting.com/features.htm. 
 Can I upgrade my plan at a later date? Of 
course. Just Log into your NetAdmin account control panel and go to the Account Upgrades section. 
 How do I transfer files to my Web site? You have several options to choose from when publishing 
   your web site to ProHosting's servers.
 FTP or File Transfer Protocol is widely used to transfer files manually, but 
   if you're just getting started, you may want to invest in a program like Macromedia® 
   Dreamweaver®. With Dreamweaver® and comparable programs, you can design 
   your Web pages and publish your site to our server with one easy to use program.
 
 You can download FTP clients from http://www.tucows.com 
   or many other sites on the net.
 More information in Macromedia® Dreamweaver® can be found at http://www.macromedia.com.
 
 If you have any questions regarding what is and is not compatible with ProHosting, 
   give us a call or drop us an email at support@prohosting.com.
 
 Will I be able to update my web pages whenever I need to? Yes, you can connect using an FTP program(for instance, CuteFTP 
or WS-FTP), the Filemanager, 
Dreamweaver®, GoLive®, or any one of the hundreds of other Web tools to update your web 
site at any time day or night.
