- Hosting WebsitesWebsites are hosted on a publicly accessible server. A website may need an entire server to itself or it may share a server with 100s of other websites. The storage space, and the features that come with it, make up the hosting plan.4
- Google AnalyticsGoogle provides website analytics tracking for free. Unless you have a client who is internet savvy they will not know how to access their website analytics and they won't know what they mean. If you want to be a great webmaster then you need to understand how to install tracking code on each website and understand how to communicate the analytics to your clients.1
