Domain Registration
A domain is a URL. A URL is, quite simply, a web address (the typical www.websitename.com). If required, IAM will help you to select a name that is appropriate and effective for your purposes. IAM Webs will also provide advice regarding the kinds of domain names that might be appropriate to help you achieve your goals.
FTP Access
FTP is the acronym for "File Transfer Protocol," which, in short, refers to the tool with which you can control your web files on the server provided to you by your host. Accessing your server space is typically done by using an FTP Client, which is a piece of software specifically designed to allow you to connect to your server and to upload and download files belonging to your website. Some organizations also require ftp for the purposes of transferring large files back and forth to their clients. This is the case, for instance, with graphic design companies that require their clients to submit artwork, etc. FTP makes these tasks efficient and easy.
