Web Hosting, What?
Most of us would love to have a website. True? Yes, you see most of the companies today had tuned in to the technical pros for them to create the most dazzling website that they could ever think of. But the problem is, not too many of us know the different terms associated with having a website; example: domain name registration, browser or web hosting. We do not mean to be rude by introducing to your words that you thought are hard to understand. But since you are now here in the wonderful world of the internet, it would be an advantage for you and the techie gurus if you at least know a bit on what in the world you are getting into.
What is Web Hosting? Got you there, didn't I? Web Hosting is an important part of having a website. Without it, there wouldn't be any website. Here is a nifty example; you are planning to have a mansion. Where in the world would you build your mansion? An agent tells you there is a nice place at this address. Your next question is... How big? Then you are now counting the square meters. Same also goes for your website. You have your own website graphic design and URL (domain name- website name Unified Resource Location), next will be your web hosting. Like the lot of your mansion, a web hosting is a place wherein you put your website, a sanctuary to save your files, a haven for your precious website design content.
Let's talk about space. Usually the bigger the better, but practically speaking; when you talk about pricing it is a different issue. So how enough is enough? Most of the time if you're just planning a simple static (uninteractive) website which includes your company profile, services or products you wouldn't need a large gig of big space. Why? Because the basic law of the internet is to keep everything small. So, you would be expecting your designers to keep file sizes to a bare minimum. And lastly, the ones that require vast quantities of space are those websites with database systems (interactive or dynamic websites). Assuming that you are a starter; I bet you wouldn't need those.
It is also important that you host (put) your website with a reputable web hosting provider. When I say reputable it means a license company that is honest, reliable and approachable. Honest, a good company is a company that you can trust. Reliable, when they say its 24 / 7, it is 24 / 7. I have a note here; all servers (a computer like thingy that runs everything on your website) have their routine technical maintenance. You might not have access to your website at this specified period of time but don't worry it is usually for only a few minutes and not more than twice a month or even less frequent. So, you will not feel it at all. Next stop, Approachable, you are at ease talking to your provider.
Alright, that is all you need to know about web hosting. So, you typed in your website's name on a computer, the browser summons the contents of your website at your web hosting provider, the server reacts and sends the needed information and viola! Your precious website will come out.
