There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.

As your friend and mine, Steve Zehngut would say, “Not all web hosts are created equal” which I think is a good thing. With them not being equal the features each have are vastly different and some of these you may need in order to host your site with them.
