What is
website hosting?
Simply put, Website Hosting is a means to house your website content / files on the internet for your visitors to view. Just as you would need living space for an office or dwelling, the files for your website need storage space in a location that your users are able to easily access.
You may ask yourself: ''Why can I not host my files on my own computer? I have an internet connection.'' - While this is true, there are several reasons why hosting your files on a home internet connection isn''t in the best interest of you or your visitors.*
What is a Domain Name?
Domain Names are a way to create an identity on the internet. Computers look for IP addresses as a way to route requests for websites. IP addresses look something like ''123.456.78.90''. Without the invention of Domain Names, this would have presented a problem when trying to give your web address out to someone. Numbers with periods (dots) are much harder to remember than a simple name. ie: mytrucks.com, or something along those lines. Domain Names make it simple to find a website without the need to remember a long string of numbers and dots.
A good domain name is invaluable. It is one of the biggest defining characteristics of your website. It is printed on your
business cards, in phone book advertisements, on TV commercials, etc. The best possible domain name is a name that is easy to remember, catchy, and pertains to your business.
A good domain name can be hard to find nowadays. Prices are at an all-time low and seeing that there are no limits to the amount of domains you can own, people have made entire businesses out of simply buying and selling domains. In light of this, do not despair if you are having trouble finding the domain name that is right for your business. Put some thought and time into the domain that is right for you, and at the very worst, if you decide you do not like it, you can always purchase another.
Some things to keep in mind when purchasing a domain name.
Domains have limits in length. While any component of a domain can theoretically be up to 256 characters long, many registries including .com .net and .org limit the size of a domain to less than 63 characters. In this instance, less is definitely more. Would you want to try and remember a domain that is 63 characters in length? What is more, would you want to try to fit that on a business card?
There are many different extensions for domain names. .com is not the only domain extension available. So if the particular name you want is not available you may do well to try another extension such as .net .org .us .biz or .info. There are many different domain extensions to choose from.
Domains have expiration dates. Domain names can at the most length be registered for 10 years. This means that a domain name that is not available currently may become available in the near future. There are many services for acquiring expiring names. Backorders, auctions, and other means can greatly improve your chances of obtaining an expiring domain name. Don''t fotrack of when your domain name expires!
