This is not ImpressCMS related but I think newbies can find this educating.
- You get the plot => you get a hosting plan
- You build the house => you build the website and store it in a hosting company's computer
- You get a snail address => you get a domain
- Your provider raises prices or gives you a bad service, so you plan to move your website anywhere else. Once you move it, how are you telling the world where is your website now?
- You have a conflict with your web related services provider, so they just "disconnect" your site. It's not deleted, but no-one can reach your site, so it's about the same thing.
- Some employee's of your web services provider is really really pissed off and wants to do something bad...
- You are in a successful rock band
that is offered a record deal
. The label wants control over your domain to build a "really really cool website for the band". Latest news, they don't need control on the domain to do that. But you give them the control of the domain anyway, and now they control your Internet shop window. Is the record label screwing you up? OK, you break the deal and go to another label... ooops!... your domain, and your name on the Internet now belongs to the first record label. What now?
