What Is A Domain Name And Hosting?

A domain name is used to identify one or more Internet Provider (IP)addresses. Domain names are found in URL's and they identify Web pages on the internet. For instance the domain name for Blurtit is blurtit.com and the URL, the domain name to reach web pages would be www.blurtit.com along with any other identifiers such as index, archives, html etc.

Every domain name must have a suffix, which designates, which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to: Gov, edu, org, com,mil and so forth. Every web server on the internet must have a Domian Name System (DNS) server to change the domain names into IP addresses. Otherwise, we could not get from one site to another within the Internet system of sites. Everyone who has a Website must have a domain name, and that domain name must be hosted by a hosting service. Otherwise, the website could not be seen by others over the internet. Once a domain name is chosen the next step is to register the name with a hosting provider.

Hosting is called Website hosting, Web hosting and webhosting. A web host is a business, which houses, serves and maintains files for one or more websites. Some hosting services offer to host your website free once you have purchased a Domain Name. They will give you a few pages of free space and some are very good site hosting providers. Those offering simple page editors and functional aids, help a lot of people to have a web site who could not afford this otherwise.

Often, as you browse the Internet you will see ads on the right side of the page with offers for purchasing Domain names and Providers for hosting your website. Often, you can purchase your domain name and host your website with the same Provider. Payments can be annual or monthly and can run from $3.99 a month to $16.00 dollars a year. Some are inexpensive others are not. It depends upon what one wants and how the website will be used. The more space needed the more the cost for hosting would become.
