Absolute basic information on domain names and web hosting for newbie
webmasters. by andaleb
Domain name, what the heck? Probably there is millions of people exists out
there who doesn't know or indeed have no idea about what domain name is. They
aren't jerks, just because they didn't need to know what domain name is. You
can fall in that category; even if you don't why don't we give a second look at
domain names? Domain name is a name that can identify a web site in the World
Wide Web. In web there has to be a way to identify each different web site. So
the easiest way was to give a name, just as like as we call each other by our
names. But it is bit different from our names. Every name has something to add
on, as you have probably visited www.yahoo.com you can see 'www' followed by
'yahoo' and 'com' separated by comma (.). Now 'www' stands for world wide web
and .com .net .info are domains. With 'yahoo' together they call as domain
name. Domain names can be may types like .com .info .co.uk etc.
Domain name registration. You have to register your domain name to create and
publish a site in World Wide Web (internet). In the past it was extremely
difficult to find out affordable domain name registration. All domain name
registrars used to charge around $70 to register your domain name for 2 years.
ituation has changed now. Many new company offering domain name registration at
an affordable cost. Some will register your domain name for less then $15 for a
year. Especially if you are registering multiple domain names for multiple
sites for a number of years at the same time.
Domain name registration process can be confusing if you are a first time
buyer. Literally there are number of terms to worry about. But according to
many experts and even to those who have gone through the process of domain name
registration said domain name registration process is such an easy and quick
procedure. It is easy if and only if it is coupled with the effort and interest
of both the domain name consumer and domain name registrars. About domain name
consumers, it is indeed true that they play a great part in the domain name
registration process since it is in their hands that the success of the domain
name registration depends. Of course the domain name registrar play a part in
the domain name registration process for the fact that they are ones who have
the power to amend and control the domain names.
Web hosting. If you want to publish your website online then all you have to do
other than registering a domain name is a web hosting. This is what you really
should go for a good one. If you are creating your personal website just for
fun then you better go to yahoo geocities. They are good for personal no cost
websites. But if you are thinking for something rocking, I mean if you are
considering your website for business purpose or to make money then trust me u
definitely don't need to go for a free web hosting. Ordinary web surfers like
me doesn't like ads popping up in another window while they are browsing a
serious site. You can get really cheap deals of web hosting out there that can
be great in value. Even if you are lucky enough you can find free hosting with
good proving track record that they are really good. I have once heard about a
hosting service that provides free hosting without any ads. All you have to do
is post at least 50 posts to their blog to get the service working for you. And
they are good if you can keep up blogging.
Disk space: Doesn't matter who you are hosting with just make sure you are
getting enough disk space for your site. Disk space is like as same as your
PC's hard drive the more disk space do you get the bigger site you can host
online. Usually in MB (megabytes) or GB (Giga bytes).
Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be retrieved still more your
site within the bandwidth period. The bandwidth period is the length of time
before your bandwidth is reset once again, usually reversal a month. Bandwidth
is measured in MB and GB, corresponding disk space. That's all for today. Next
time more information on various topics will be here.
