The DLL manager included with the Windows Hosting package can be used for registering ActiveX DLLs, which may then be invoked in ASP scripts. Do not forget the DLL to be registered must be uploaded onto the DLL Directory.

Note: No need to register dotNET based DLLs, since dotNET DLLs do not need to be registered to work.

What are DLLs?
A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is a set of functions that can be loaded and executed dynamically by Windows applications. Quite often, a variety of applications require the same set of DLLs to perform particular operations, such as opening a window or saving a file. By having these DLLs stored separately and making them available to every application through a static or dynamic link, it helps in reducing storage space.

Pricing:
Custom DLLs can be purchased in a set of 5 along with any one of the Windows Web Hosting Plans. The price for 5 will be EUR 5.00.

Cheap Domain Name Registration

Cheap domain name registration is freely available these days. There are hundreds of registrars and their prices vary considerably. Although registrars are closely regulated, they are permitted to offer their services through third parties; so many web hosts offer a domain name registration service even if they are not a registrar. Domain names are usually registered for a minimum of one year.

Cheap Domain Web Hosting

Once you have purchase your domain name, in order for your site to be visible online you will need to have your site hosted. For this you will require the services of a domain hosting company. Here again, there are hundreds of hosting companies and fees vary considerably. If you are not aufae’ with the various technologies / functionality that a good domain hosting company should provide don’t be alarmed or put off. The easiest option is to go with a large, well branded host, like VAIOWEB.

If you prefer you could contact various domain hosts and enquire what technologies are offered with their package. Remember here, that these companies offer a range of packages … so you need to choose a package that suits YOUR needs. Typically packages differ in functionality and storage space. eg. a more expensive package will allow for a shopping cart and a credit card processing facility. If you do not intend selling products from your site then this is not for you; many domain hosting companies offer you the option to upgrade at a later stage so don’t feel you need to have all technologies / functionality upfront.

After sale support is, in my opinion, of the utmost importance when deciding on a hosting company to host your newly acquired or transferred domain name. If you are opting for a lesser known hosting company this factor will be hard to gauge upfront. Hence it is my opinion that you stick with the better know, branded names. These are hosting companies that enjoy a large portion of the market share, people have being using them and can vouch for their reliability.

Managing Multiple Domains

There are several ways to manage multiple domains so it is important to know what your options are and the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

The most basic choice when administering multiple domains is whether or not to do so with the same host. Most hosts offer packages which can be set up to allow several sites on one account, or allow individual sites to be operated under separate accounts.

You may have an existing website and are happy with the services your host provides. If you decide to start a new website using the same host, you will have the reassurance of dealing with a company you are familiar with and trust. On the other hand, using a new host for a second (or third or fourth) website can allow you to compare the quality of hosting offered by different companies. In addition, separate hosts will provide each of your web sites with a different IP address.

Having different IP addresses can be an important factor if you plan to link the sites together to aid in search engine optimization. Incoming links are an important indicator of the importance of a website, so a site with a lot of incoming links can get a higher position in search engines like Google. If all the links are coming from the same IP address, however, their value may be discounted. For a yearly fee each website can have its own unique IP address. This can help with search engine ranking and is also needed if you want to have a secure connection (https) on your site.

A Few Word Of Caution About Free Domain Name Registration and Free Domain Web Hosting

Remember that cheap domain name registration and web hosting does not mean that you may opt for the free options out there. Free hosting is definitely an area you will do well to stay away from. Free domain hosting almost always mean no customer support, unreliable up-time and alot of dowm-time. Free domain name registration means that you DO NOT own that domain name but merely ‘renting’ it via a third party … a definite no … no.
