Your Questions About Web Hosting Services

admin answers:

Hi Renée,

Let me help clear your questions one by one:

1. What is a domain?

If you want to set up a business in the offline world, you need a storefront and a company name. Similarly, on the Internet, you need a web space (online storefront) and a domain name (online company name).

2. What is the difference between a domain and a web hosting service?

As I just said, a domain is simply an online company name. For example, Microsoft Corporation had its online company name registered as www.microsoft.com.

If you have a domain say www.renee.com but you do not have a web space yet, then when people type in www.renee.com into their browser, they will see a web page full of ads put up by the domain company (or registrar) you bought from. To showcase your information or sell products, you need to go to a web hosting company that provides web hosting service for you, so you can rent a web space from them and link your domain name to the web space to form a website.

3. Does the popularity of your domain matter in the success of your business?

Yes, it does. If you do not create awareness about your domain name, no one will know the existence of your website. Online people locate a website using domain name. In general, the more people know about your domain name, the greater the success of your business.

4. What is a domain extension?

It is simply the 2 or 3 letter words right after a name. For example, you can register www.renee.com or www.renee.net or www.renee.ws, the .com, .net and .ws are extensions. These extensions serve different purpose depending on what type of websites you’re creating. I suggest that you go to this web page for more simple explanation on the meaning and purpose of all domain extensions:

Or you can go to the main page to get more details about all the domain and web hosting basics you need at:

By the way, the ‘www’ in front means World Wide Web in case you need to know this also.

Hope that helps.

Freewebs!! I made a website exactly how you described. Freewebs comes with a lot of tools that make it easy to customize and create. They also have lots of ways to promote your website and get it more views. I would send you a link to my website, but I stopped paying for it and its been taken over by a bunch of advertisements lol (NOTE: this is only because i stopped using it and said to cancel the website! And another thing, the only reason I had to pay is because i wanted my own custom address, otherwise its completely free!!!)
