Creating a Website - Part 2
We now know how to create a domain from part 1.
Now, we'll move on to hosting a website.
Hosting definition:
So, the web host is the place where you have all your files stored.
How to host our new website?
Consider that the domain name is "www.yourname.com".
We should first find a suitable hosting options for our website.
For example,
How many users will visit the site at a time?
How many files do i have to store in my website? etc..
If you want to have a lot of files and many users will visit the site at a time or daily, we have to select a hosting account that has a large storage space and transfer.
For example, a low priced plan may have a storage capacity of 100MB along with 10GB transfer per month.
It may also offer money back guarantee!
But if you want a forum to be created in your website, then you should look at other options also.
For example, many forums need PHP and MySQL.
So, you should check with your host whether they are available in the particular hosting plan.
There are 3 types of hosting: Windows, Linux and FreeBSD.
If your website code has ASP or ASP.net content choose windows hosting.
Generally windows hosting costs more because the licensing fee required is greater for windows.
But to the end user everything is same and dont be confused about it.
Many companies that you create a new domain offers a web hosting account also.
Once you have created a new hosting account, you are given a username and password.
When you go to your domain name for the first time say "www.yourname.com". It will ask you for the username and password.
Enter them and you'll be taken to a new place called: Control Panel.
That will be explained in part 3.
If you have any comments or questions, feel free to ask.

Now, we'll move on to hosting a website.
Hosting definition:
 | The World Wide Web is a massive collection of web sites, all hosted on computers (called web servers) all over the world. The web server (computer) where your web site's html files, graphics, etc. reside is known as the web host. Web hosting clients simply upload their web sites to a shared (or dedicated) webserver, which the ISP maintains to ensure a constant, fast connection to the Internet. |
So, the web host is the place where you have all your files stored.
