Web hosting is an internet service which allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web

You need hosting to provide a way for people to access your website over the internet. Without hosting, there would be no way for people to see yout site.

Maintaining a fully functional web hosting service requires the cost for server boxes, which are provided by a third party, parent/umbrella company known as a data centre or provider. Including fees/costs to rent spaces/locations for the server, bandwidth and connection.

A Domain name is the URL that is placed in your address bar when accessing a website. An example of a domain would be this very site you are at; the domain name iLLusiveHosting.net

A Domain Name is a textual version of an IP address (the number that points to a certain website). Each domain on the internet consists of numbers, but it would be very confusing if you had to remember a long combination of numbers. For example, the number 75.126.78.40 is the IP address for iLLusiveHosting.net

Obtaining hosting is very simple. You will need to: 1) Purchase a domain name or already have an existing domain name. To check the availability on a domain name, or to register one click here

DNS stands for Domain Name System; similar to a URL it runs on a web server, translating domain names into IP addresses (numeric internet address).

A DNS can look similar to: NS1.iLLusiveHosting.net and NS2.iLLusiveHosting.net.

Our servers run on Dual OC-48, which transmits data at a speed of 100-155Mbit per second or 10 Gbit per second fiber optic lines on backbone networks, of very reliable services providers.

iLLusive Hosting plans pretty much have the same features but differ in the amount of storage space and bandwidth available to you. Your decision should be based on how much space you think you will need and the type of site you will be hosting.

Features such as eCommerce, blogs, discussion forums, etc, vary in the number or amount of resources available to your specific plan.

There are hosts that charge less than we do and others that charge a lot more. It is important, however, when doing price comparisons to compare your information with regards to your storage, bandwidth and features.

A common tactic used by other hosting companies is advertising a very low monthly price, but to get that price you have to commit to 3 years of service.

Hosting companies often boast about the amount of space they provide. 20GB+ offers are common, our Corporate Plan offers 4GB! The fact is 99% of websites never come close to needing this much space. We provide enough space on all our plans, however we choose to focus on providing the best overall set of tools instead of providing misleading numbers.

.ca’s are available to all Canadian citizens/residents, organizations with a presence in Canada and owners of a registered Canadian trademark.

When registering a .ca domain we must accept a (very long) registrant agreement with CIRA, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, they are the registry for all .ca domains. Many changes to domain registrations also require confirmation with CIRA; basically anything which affects ownership of a domain has to be confirmed with CIRA.
