What is
web hosting?
UL Internet specializes in web hosting. We will do everything to help you get your web site online
fast. You supply the web pages, and we'll have you up and running in no time. We can

tasks, such as online commerce, electronic magazines, on-line auctions, chat, forums, polls
and surveys, live audio and video conferencing, market research, banner advertisements,
shopping carts, email, classified ads, databases, search engines, on-line stores and
malls, and more.

What is a
domain name?
A domain name is a unique address on the World Wide Web.
Having your own domain name allows people to easily remember and locate your web site
quickly, as well as giving your web site a professional image. With a domain name you can
transfer your web presence at any time and never lose your identity since you can take
your domain name with you. Since email can be addressed to your domain name, you will not
have to announce a new email address if you change internet access providers. In addition
to these benefits, by using a domain name you do not reveal that you are renting web
space.
You will be able to access your domain name with or without
the WWW in front. For example, you will be able to access your domain name "myname.com"
by going to "www.myname.com" as well as "myname.com".

Why don't I see
set web hosting plans?
The web hosting plan you need depends on your
specific needs. While other companies provide set plans at set prices, very
often you are either not getting exactly what you need, or you are paying for
things you do not need.
We suggest that you make a list of what features you will need.
Depending on the amount of space you need, how much data you will
transfer each month, and what options you might want (CGI scripts, Online Shopping, Secure
Certificates, etc.), you will find that we can offer you exactly what you
need, and can easily afford.
