Web Hosting-The Essential Guide For Beginners
Parts By Moses Francis
Web hosting is a seemingly complex topic that small business owners can sometimes
feel confounded by. When the techie on a message board offhandedly mentions IP addresses, domain names, and
the type of hosting plan your business needs, you might be ready to head for the hills! Don't be
overburdened by the unfamiliar jargon. It's really very simple. Before you get any type of
web hosting plan, you need to register a domain name. You can create an account at one of the accredited
domain registrars like StarrTrack.com.
Next, use their search box to see if the domain you want
is already taken by someone else, or is still available. Most generic domain names, i.e., dictionary words
and names are already taken. However, just because someone has registered the .com version of a popular name, does
not mean that you can not get the same name without the .com. For instance, you might be able to get
laptops.org or laptops.cc. When you run a search for laptops, it will tell you what extensions are available, e.g.,
.com, .net, .org, .cc, .ws, .name, etc. Each have different technical meanings, but you can use them
interchangeably, at least for now. A .com is a company, a .org is an organization, and a .ws
represents website, etc.
Ok, so you've had to combine a few words or maybe even create a brand new word to find a good
domain, now what? Now, you need a web hosting plan. In order to serve content on the internet, you have
to upload that content. However, you have to upload it to someone else's server. A server is just like
a computer, located remotely, that serves other computers in the network. If you're confused, don't
worry, just hear me out. Each server has a unique IP address, just like your computer you have at home.
That's how computers are identified on the internet. Domain names make it possible to identify computers, or
IP addresses, as distinct alphabetical addresses that make sharing and communicating the websites you find
easier. Stay tuned on this website for more tips from StarrTrack.com.
