What is Web Hosting? To have a Web site on the Internet you first need to have a Web server. Unfortunately,
owning a Web server can be very costly and requires technical expertise that most businesses don't have. This
is where Web Hosts come in. Web hosting companies provide the equipment and other technical resources that
you need without the headaches that come when you have to do it yourself.
Think of a Web
Host as the landlord of building. A landlord rents out storefronts to various businesses. Each business
decorates and runs their store differently, and doesn't worry about the maintenance of the building. In a
similar way a Web Host rents out space on a Web server, (or entire Web servers), to various businesses. Each
business builds their own Web site and never has to worry about the maintenance of their Web server.
In other words,
the Web Host provides the place on the Internet where your Web site lives. It's a lot cheaper than buying you
own server, and you don't have to hire the technical staff to take care of it.
Domain Name
Registration It is
important to think of your domain name not only as your web address, but by how you will be known. For
example, a San Diego Chiropractor may want to forego using his company name “Johnson Chiropractor” for his
domain name and go with something like www.SanDiegoChiropractor” instead. Since
using a name by which people would search, it is expected (and a proven technique) to rank
higher.
