WHAT
IS DOMAIN:
On the internet, the domain is
simply a part of the network address and acts as a descriptor for
websites. A website contains a collection of web pages or formatted
documents that can be accessed over the Internet. Websites are
generally identified with domain names or web addresses.
For
example, if you type the web address www.mytasker.com over the
internet, it would take you to the home page of the actual website.
For
example, when you enter the URL ‘mytasker.com/blog’ over the web
browser, request is sent to the web servers which bear ‘mytasker.com’
as the domain name.
DOMAIN
EXTENSION:
Domain
extension refers to the notation found at the end of web addresses.
The extension is used to specify a country code or any web category.
For example, .edu is a domain extension to specify educational
institution as the web category.
What
is Web Hosting?
Web
hosting refers to any service providing space for websites over the
Internet. Web host enables your website to be viewed by others via
modem or network by making space over its server.
There
are different kinds of web hosting services available today which are
used as per the needs and requirements of the web developers.
Paid
or Free Web Hosting?
If
you have a website, you are going to need some form of web hosting.
If you have no plans to turn your site into a business, and you don’t
expect there to be much traffic, you can probably get away with free
hosting. There are likely to be restrictions involved with this type
of deal such as a limited selection of website themes and only a
modest amount of bandwidth and storage space. You may also be
expected to allow free advertisements on your site as part of the
deal – few things in life are truly free.
If
you want to approach blogging or website ownership in a more
professional way, you are going to need to arrange your own hosting.
Shared hosting can be a good place to start if you only have a small
amount of traffic, but as your audience grows, you are going to want
to consider dedicated web hosting or cloud hosting.
