"I Can Manage Your Hosting for You"

An Introduction to Web Hosting

website hosting

Three basic things are required to get a website up and running on the World Wide Web.

First, you'll need an actual website.

Second, you'll need a domain name for your website. A domain name is a unique web address that you type in to your web browser that takes you to a particular website. e.g. www.google.com

Third, you need a host. Web hosts are Internet companies that provide the web server space that is required to house clients' websites. Web servers deliver web pages on the request to clients using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Domain Names

Every website requires a domain name and you should register one yourself (don't let anyone else do it for you). You should own the name rights to your website and not anybody else. I recommend that you purchase a 2 year subscription fee as it will result in a higher ranking on the search engines. Examples of top level servers that supply domain names are: .com, .org, .net, .co.uk, .co.im and they all vary in prices. Please contact me if you need further assistance in regards to purchasing a domain name for your website.
