Hosting and Domain. I am sure that many people want to understand what hosting and domain are, of course with examples. So let's start... In simple words, what is hosting? Often, novice webmasters who want to create their own website are interested and start looking for what domain and hosting are. First of all, it is necessary to say that a website is a set of files, data, graphic images, video and audio files, which are combined using a certain programming language. This set of information needs to be placed somewhere on the Internet. This is exactly what hosting is needed for. First, I would like to introduce a certain description of hosting in technical language. Hosting (English - hosting) - this is a service for providing computing power for placing information on a server that is constantly connected to the network (usually the Internet). In other words, hosting is an Internet service for allocating a certain amount of space to place a website on the Internet. Organizations and companies that offer such services are called hosting providers. When you buy a hosting service, you are essentially renting a certain amount of space on a server. A server is an ordinary physical computer that has constant (24/7) access to the Internet. Hosting services use powerful computers (servers) with large hard drives that have constant access to the Internet, a constant uninterrupted power source, and are located in the company's data center. It is on such computers that websites are hosted, to which users have constant access via the Internet.
When you need to launch a new website on the Internet, you need to choose the appropriate hosting package from the appropriate provider company. Hosting packages differ in types, parameters, and price. Payment can be made monthly, quarterly, or annually. Buying hosting is like renting an apartment, when you have to pay rent every month. Our company's (FindDomain.ge) hosting is reliable, secure, and equipped with all the latest software services. Our service prices are also quite attractive compared to the prices of other hosting providers. Our company is focused on the long-term effect of income, not short-term profit. Hosting classification According to the implementation and configuration, hosting can be classified according to different characteristics. Hosting can be divided into paid and free hosting. Free hosting has the following disadvantages: • Low speed; • A large number of other people's advertisements on the site; • Stability and security of work are not guaranteed; • Technical support service is slow to respond and does not resolve problems in a timely manner; If your site is a simple website, a home blog or a small business site of a business type, then in principle, free hosting will be quite useful for you and you will not have to pay a fee. But some inconvenience still remains, namely, someone else's advertising on your site. But if we consider a large corporate site, an information portal, a site used in online commerce, which should be constantly accessible, then it is better to choose paid hosting. Paid hostings are devoid of the above shortcomings. They work stably and their technical support team quickly responds to client problems. On such hosting, the site works faster, the site owner has more functions and capabilities. The only disadvantage is the fee, but this amount in our company (FindDomain.ge) is extremely minimal, starting from 4.00 L per month. The second characteristic according to which hosting is classified is the type of hosting offered: • Shared hosting. In this case, many user sites are distributed on one server, and the server resources (processor, RAM, access speed) are distributed dynamically between them. Such hosting is quite attractive for its price. Its certain disadvantage can be considered that if the site becomes very popular and the number of its users increases (thousands), this increases the demand for this site on the server's capacity, which, as we mentioned, is a shared resource for all hosted sites, so if at certain times of the day the load on other sites also increases, this puts the server in an unstable state. These loads are constantly monitored and quickly responded to by the provider company. However, if the site requires large resources, it is better to use another type of hosting. This is how they do it, while the site is less popular or has fewer users, they place it on shared hosting, but then it is transferred to other hostings due to the increase in load. Changing hosting is a common practice and a simple procedure technically. We offer the best conditions for shared hosting;

• Dedicated Hosting Dedicated Server - This is a type of hosting where the user is offered a completely dedicated physical server (computer). In particular, the user is given the entire computer with its hard drives, RAM and processors. Therefore, a dedicated server gives the user incredible opportunities. You can configure it according to your own preferences, choose an operating system and other programs. In fact, the rent of a dedicated server is equivalent to your own local server, but it is provided with technical support from your hosting provider. The advantages of a dedicated server are: full configuration management of your server, high reliability (you do not share your server resources with anyone), full root access, high security. Disadvantages: relatively high cost, you will need server management skills and knowledge.
• Colocation - this is a service when the client does not rent a computer, but brings his own computer (the so-called server) to the provider company and installs it in its data center, where a guaranteed source of constant power, access to the Internet, etc. is provided. The client pays a monthly rent for this service. This service is one of the most expensive services. It requires more knowledge and experience from the client in the field of working with network equipment, programming skills, and more. This is somewhat similar to renting land, and what he will do with this land is his business. There is a type of shared (shared) hosting called WordPress hosting, which is designed specifically for sites that are built on the WordPress engine. This hosting is configured directly taking into account the needs of the CMS WordPress. It is precisely because of this configuration that your website will load faster and with fewer problems. Additional features are added to such hosting: additional themes for the site, a constructor for easily building pages (by dragging and dropping the mouse).
The advantages of this type of hosting are: • Low price. Its price is sometimes the same as the price of shared hosting; • Convenient for beginners. • WordPress can be installed with one click. • Good speed for WordPress sites. • Pre-installed “plugins” and “themes” for WordPress Cons: Recommended only for WordPress sites. Otherwise, problems are possible. What is a domain? In simple terms, a domain is the name of a site’s address, which is needed to identify it. For example: www.sitename.ge. Here “sitename.ge” is the domain. For a deeper analysis, let's give a definition to the word domain: domain name - a name derived from symbols, which is used to identify a space - an administrative autonomous unit on the Internet - within a hierarchy higher than it. It looks like this: 255.255.255.255. Remembering this is certainly difficult for an ordinary person, so the essence of the domain was introduced, for example: google.com, finddomain.ge and others. It is much easier to remember than combinations of numbers. Nevertheless, the domain name is directly related to the digital address, the so-called IP address, which consists of 4 numbers separated by a dot: 255.255.255.255. Domains exist at the first, second and third levels. A 1st level domain is the end of the letters after the dot: .GE, .COM, .ORG, .NET … These are first level domains that indicate the territorial affiliation of the site (.GE, .US, UK, RU …) or the field of activity (com, net, edu, org, biz, info …). First level domains cannot be purchased. A 2nd level domain is, for example, name.ge. A 3rd level domain is name.name.ge. 3rd level domains are free in most cases. The owner of a second level domain can create/purchase it for free. Therefore, I think this article will help you fill a certain informational vacuum about what a domain and hosting are. |
