Domains, Domain Registration and Website Hosting
A domain name is the unique address that identifies a website on the internet. Common domain suffixes include .COM, .NET, and .ORG. In addition to these, there are many other domain suffixes available for specific purposes. For example, specialty domains such as .GOV are reserved for government entities, while .EDU is designated for educational institutions. Certain domain suffixes are reserved for countries; for instance, .US is allocated for the United States. If you are a resident of the United States and can provide verification, you are eligible to register a .US domain. For a comprehensive list of available domain suffixes, refer to the appropriate directory.
Web Hosting
Web hosting refers to the service of storing your website's code and files on a web server located somewhere in the world. Essentially, hosting is the place where your website resides. This can be compared to your street address, which is the location where you live, while the website itself is like the furniture and contents inside your house.
Domain Registration
When you set up web hosting, you often have the option to register your domain at the same time. Many hosting companies will cover the cost of your first year of domain registration if you purchase hosting through them. There is a wide range of companies that offer domain registration services, each with their own pricing structures. The cost of registering a domain has changed over the years; for example, the first domain I registered cost about $6.99, but today the average price ranges from $14.99 to $19.99 per year. It is possible to prepay for domain registration for up to ten years in advance. For those registering a domain for their first website, it is recommended to register the domain for one year initially. If the website becomes successful and profitable, consider renewing the domain for a longer period.
