Hey there, web beginners! Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed by the complex world of web hosting? Well, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! At DomainRooster, we want to make web hosting as easy as possible for you. So, let’s dive in and learn the basics together!
First things first, what is web hosting? Web hosting is a service that allows individuals or companies to make their websites available on the internet. The company providing the web hosting service will have servers located somewhere, connected to other computers via “internet lines”.
When someone wants to view your website, they connect their computer directly to yours and request information from it through an internet browser. This request is sent through the internet line, which in turn sends a message to a server at the location asking if there’s any data waiting to be delivered to this particular user.
Now, let’s talk about some basic terms used in computer networks. The term “server” can refer to either hardware or software, and it usually has more resources than those required to run a personal desktop PC but less capacity than large commercial-grade machines. Servers may also provide services beyond storing files, such as electronic mail hosts, database managers, Intranet gateways, or network file systems.
On the other hand, the term “client” refers to a machine that uses the services provided by another machine, like a browser, eCommerce sites, search engines, FTP clients, and media players.
So, what is a domain name? A domain name is an address for your website or blog. It tells people where they can find you online. For example, if you want to visit DomainRooster’s website, you would type in domainrooster.com into your browser.
There are two main categories of web hosting – Shared Hosting and VPS. Shared hosting refers to a single server that hosts multiple websites at once, while VPS (Virtual Private Server) provides all of the advantages of dedicated servers but without the hefty price tag. You can configure your own server with your specifications, making it easier for you to have total control over your environment.
At DomainRooster, we offer web hosting services that are faster, more secure, and reliable. Our web hosting services are perfect for small businesses and individuals who want basic features like email accounts and FTP logins.
