Web Hosting

For creating any current day website, hosting and domain plays a very important role. To put website on an internet, there are three basic parts which make it up: Domain name, Hosting or server, Content (site files). Hence all the websites need a web host plan which gives access to a web server, which can accumulate all sorts of data at one place with the world and a good domain name which could create an impact in the market and long term identification in the cyber world.


 

Content includes the site files like.jpg photograph,.mp3 audio file,.avi or.mp4 video file, text file and more. Web host (server) instructs to do computation, read all the contents and give a look to your web page.

Domain name gives you the sense of ownership; it serves as your unique identity over the internet. It represents an IP resource like computer communicates using numbers to contact each other, called IP addresses. It functions same like that of our telephone directory; we can go through the phone book and get the phone number of anyone.

Hosting would be impractical without a domain name, to tell the customers about the site location using IP addresses could be very tedious whereas the domain name simplifies this and tells the people that abc.com (any computer) is hosted on the server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'. Thus to create a presence on the internet and build a reputation you should have registered the domain under your name. Getting a right domain name is much like getting a good first impression.

Nowadays having a domain name is a cheap task, you can have a domain name for yourself, for your own use. Whereas earlier, it was costlier and only a few companies had one for themselves.

The web hosting provides space on the server to organizations to upload their data online that would be accessible via the World Wide Web over the internet. Without web hosting services, there won't be any place for files to reside and so your domain name would be of no importance. It has a great importance in a marketing process, and to communicate through webpage's.
