All About Web Hosting

What is a Web Site?

As you may well know, a web site is the most common form of content on the Internet. A web site is an electronic page (or set of pages). When someone visits a web page, they are accessing the information that you have created for them to view.

Web sites are housed on web servers. These web servers provide the link to the Internet that your visitors access.

What is a Domain Name?

A Domain Name is a unique name that identifies a web site. It is the Internet address for a company, individual’s site of information - similar to how your street address is how people find you.

When choosing a Domain Name, try to have a name that closely resembles your business and is not too long. The Domain Name will be what visitors type into their web browser to find you on the Internet.

What is a Web Hosting Provider?

A Web Hosting Provider provides the web servers in which you are able to store your web site upon. Your visitors can then access your pages via these servers.

When your visitors go to view your web site, they are actually sending a request to the web server that operates the domain name that you have purchased. This web server then retrieves your web page from its storage, and displays it on your visitors’ screen, exactly as you designed it.

Think of it as a shop front. The Web Hosting Provider is the landlord, the shop which holds all the products is the web server, and the shop window is the web site – designed and maintained by you.

Do I need to change my Internet Service Provider?

No. When you choose a Web Hosting provider, you do not need to change your current Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Your ISP allows your computer to dial up and access the Internet when you require it. A Web Hosting provider allows your web site to be seen by your visitors at any time, anywhere.

Using a Web Hosting Provider also means you can change ISP’s easily, as your email address and web site won’t be affected if you decide you need a faster or less expensive Internet connection.
