Although having a site is often described as simply uploading files to a web server and linking a domain name to them, the truth is a complete set of services lies beneath any site you see on the Internet. Just a few examples would be the opportunity to create and manage databases or e-mail addresses, to access your files via FTP, to check on website visitor stats and to handle a number of domain records. Each one of these things contributes to your online presence in one way or another and if any one of them is absent or is hard to manage, the overall management of your website may become annoying. In this light, it is essential to not only have total control of your hosting space and domains, but also to have the capacity to manage them with ease.
