Is web hosting and a domain name all I need?
The web world may lead you into terms like domain names, web hosting and secure certificates. Confused yet? If you are new to this you probably are. What do you need and what are the extras they are trying to sell you on. Two items exist that are essential for any web site to be up and running – domain name registration and web site hosting. Basically your name like “facebook.com” and a place to keep your files that your visitor will see.
Domain names are just an easy way for visitors to remember your site and type it into their browser. What about the web hosting side of things? Well let’s explain what you are doing when you buy website hosting. Web Hosting is like a container for your web files. Files for your web site could be code or multimedia files, such as HTML, CSS or Flash. Your site needs a server for web hosting, which is basically a computer designed to display your web site pages. In essence a web hosting package is a service provided by a Company that allows anybody with access to the internet the ability to view your web site files.
Now that we have defined web hosting, when you look to buy web hosting what do all these features mean? For beginner sites, you will be mainly looking at two main features – disk space and bandwidth. The former translates to the file size you are allowed to keep on the web hosting server. Bandwidth means the amount of data your server is allowed to transfer when web site visitors visit your web page. When your web site grows and needs more advanced features like a Content Management System, your next steps are to check into features for language support and database support. The programming language the site was coded in will help you choose the language support required, while the storage container for your web data is placed in a database.
To summarize, web site hosting is a web server that displays your code and visual files to users of your site. Depending on the nature of your site, you will then need to consider package features such as disk space, bandwidth, language support and database support.
