Question about Web Hosting
I would appreciate it if someone could help me understand how web hosting works. I currently have a web page of my own. Sometime ago I went to AwardSpace.com and have their free hosting service. I did pay a small amount to choose a URL name and had it registered. Everything has been and still is working fine. It has been at least a year or a little longer since I logged on to make some changes, but somehow I could not get logged on. I'm quite sure I used the correct user name and password, but still couldn't get logged on. I can't seem to get any help from them. Here's where my confusion lies: Since I already have my URL registered couldn't I just go to another hosting site as there are several free ones? If I did that would I first need to cancel that which I have with AwardSpace? I couldn't have two at the same time could I? If I had both of them and someone typed in my URL, would it go to AwardSpace or the new one?? You can see where I am quite confused as to how this works. I hope someone cans un-confuse me. Incidentally, since I can't log on to AwardSpace, I'm not sure I can even cancel it.
