What is web hosting ?
To make the site accessible
anywhere in the world, it is
necessary to hire space on a
computer (a server) which has a
permanent connection to the
internet. This is called
hosting. Hosting is also needed
to provide a location for your
computer to go when you type in
a domain name.
What is a domain name ?
A domain name is the
address that you type into your
browser's address or location
bar when you wish to visit a
particular site. For example,
our domain name is 'www.xmgmedia.com'.
A domain name is very important
for every
commercial/organization web
site. Internet addresses are
complicated at best, and if you
don't have a domain name, then
customers will never find you. A
potential customer is far more
likely to remember 'www.yourcompanyname.com'
than 'www.freeserviceprovider.com/username/userdirectory/index.htm'.
They also look far more
professional.
Domain names also allow you
to have professional-looking
e-mail addresses, such as 'fred@yourcompanyname.com',
through the use of e-mail
forwarding
