Web Hosting

Web hosting is the service that lets both individual people and businesses create their own spot on the Internet, called a website. Companies that provide web hosting services have servers on which the data that makes up the website is hosted. Website owners, called webmasters, give their data files to the web host for storage and publication to the Internet. This is what allows people anywhere to use the Internet to access that person or company’s website.

Regardless of the provider you select, your web hosting service will provide your website with many benefits. The first and most basic is a simple presence on the Internet. This provides you with storage space for all of the files and data that comprise your website, including pictures, audio or video.

Personalized email addresses are another cool feature of most web hosting packages. Having an email address of customer.service@yourcompany.com is much more professional looking to potential customers than if you had a Yahoo or Hotmail account for your business. A domain specific email address is an easy way to build your credibility with your clients, and make them feel that you are a solid, reputable company.


	Domain Name: A unque name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used to simplify the process of "contacting" a website or blog. Otherwise, we would need to remember a jumble of numbers (IP addresses) without any context. The administrative function of assigning and tracking Domain Names is performed by organizations known as Registrars. Registrars normally charge a modest fee for this work based on the length of time you wish to reserve a specific Domain Name.
