Some hosting companies provide their customers a control panel with file management. The control panel allows customers to manage their websites and helps them perform tasks such as installing scripts and setting up email accounts.

Hosting service’s uptime refers to the percentage of time your site is accessible via the internet. Many hosting services guarantee a high percentage of uptime such as 99% or higher. These guarantees often don’t include scheduled downtime for maintenance. Be sure to read hosting providers terms of service before signing up.
