The basis of web development core is to definitely have a web templates overview before uploading the page. Some hosting services do not work well with complex web templates or even advanced flash templates. All they can hold up id a simple calendar template. If this web host is not even offering online storage, registering domain with such service is an utterly foolish thing to do. The hosting service should at least protect one from the hazards of online file sharing.
