The Differece Between Domain And Web Hosting
Domain names and web hosting are two separate things. A lot of people typically mix these two terms together because they think that they both mean the same thing when in fact they’re not. A domain name is the unique name that identifies an Internet site. Every time you type in an address in your browser – that address you type is a domain name by itself.
Web hosting means space to store your files on the Internet. Web hosting is typically also known as web servers. With web hosting it’s like you have the “storage” for your files and anyone can access it from anywhere in the world at any time as long as they’re connected to the Internet. Metaphorically speaking, web hosting service is like renting an apartment.
For your web business to thrive, you must depend on a reliable and tested web hosting provider. Before, only big companies can afford to pay to get a website done. Today, this is not true anymore. Even a person with a small business such as those teaching people how to make money on the internet can set up his own website. You will also notice that web site hosting is now available at a reasonable cost.
Based on your own research, or on the recommendation of someone with good technical evaluation skills, you should choose a good linux web site hosting provider, then have someone develop the content for that site. The most important thing is that your site should give your business a good boost.
There are so many web hosting providers to choose from that you can get overwhelmed with all the choices. Regular Web hosting is fine for a personal website; but to build a business, you need more. Many web hosting plans are scaled to meet your budget, whether your site is for e-commerce small business, Windows hosting, cold fusion development, special interest site like your Internet marketing Indonesia site or blog.
A web hosting and email package combined with your domain name is everything you need to establish your online presence. Companies that specialize in providing web hosting services can do a much better job of providing the hardware, but usually don’t develop the content for the site.
