Beginners Guide to Domain, Web Hosting & Website
How to create/start a website? What is required to get online?
To build and publish a website online, following three main components are required:
- Domain Name
- Web Hosting
- Website
Domain Name: Your website’s domain name gives it a distinct identity. Every website on the internet has a domain name associated with it. Take Google.com and Hostvento.com, for instance. In a similar vein, registering a domain name is required for websites. Domain names must be renewed annually in order to maintain website accessibility. Registration is done on an annual basis. The domain name expiration will cause the website to stop working.
Web Hosting: In web hosting, you get storage space and bandwidth. All your website pages, images, videos, media files and folders are stored on the web hosting server. The domain name is mapped to this server by updating the name servers, when a visitor browses your domain name, the browser will serve the pages uploaded in your web hosting account. There are different types of low cost web hosting packages. But for the beginners, we usually recommend our Solo hosting plan .
