What Is Hosting?
The web host is a company who provides space on a server that gives your site connectivity to the internet. The internet terminology is not hard to comprehend. Think about the following terms in relationship to your home to get a better idea of what web hosting is.
- Domain: The website domain name or url is your address. In the world of cities, the url is like your street address so that the postman knows where to deliver you mail. This website’s domain is www.BuildrWeb.WordPress.com It is a Word Press domain and it is hosted for free on the Word Press hosting service.
- The Internet/World Wide Web: is a big city. The domain or url is the address within the city so that people know how to find you.
- Host Service: This is your house. You build your website or build your house in a hosting service. It is where you actually live. This website is hosted for free by Word Press hosting service.
- Forwarding Address: I have this domain: www.HowToBuildAWebsiteQuick.com forwarded to another address because I did not build my own house on a paid service. I used the FREE WordPress service as my house until I build my own so I have my mail forwarded to the other address. This web domain will be forwarded to the Word Press hosting service until I buy my own hosting service on a paid server.
