Web Design Basics - What the heck is Hosting, anyway?
There are three main components to a website:
 |
1. Domain Name: myname.com Secured with a modest annual fee, this is your permanent, global address on the web. |
 |
2. Hosting: Your "spot" on the internet. If you imagine that the internet is a world-wide "party", your host makes it possible to be there! Annual rental of the disk space necessary to make your site visible as part of the World Wide Web, hosting also enables email accounts at your domain (myname@mydomain.com). |
 |
3. Design: The look, feel, and content of your website. This is where the fun begins - custom designs bring the unique message of your business to the internet. |
