We are usually asked about:
[/vc_column_text]
[vc_accordion active_tab=”false” collapsible=”yes”][vc_accordion_tab title=”What is Domain Name? “][vc_column_text]Domain names are used to identify one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL http://www.bdweblink.com, the domain name is bdweblink.com.Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a limited number of such domains. For example:
com – commercial business
org – Organizations (nonprofit)
net – Network organizations
gov – Government agencies
edu – Educational institutions
mil – Military
Because the Internet is based on IP addresses, not domain names, every Web server requires a Domain Name System (DNS) server to translate domain names into IP addresses.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Why you need a Domain Name”][vc_column_text]
On the Internet, your domain name is your unique identity. Any individual, business or organization planning to have an Internet presence should invest in a domain name. Having your own domain name, website and email addresses will give you and your business a more professional look. Another reason for a business to register a domain name is to protect copyrights and trademarks, build creditability, increase brand awareness, and search engine positioning.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”IDN Domain Names”][vc_column_text]
IDN are domain names that are written in foreign languages, like Chinese, Japanese or Russian. IDN stands for Internationalized Domain Names. IDN domain names allow people from all over the world to communicate websites, domain names and URLs in their native languages.
Most domain names registered to date are written using the 26-character Latin/English alphabets and numbers, an encoding called ASCII. IDN allows for the use of non ASCII characters in domain names. When an IDN is registered, the foreign characters are encoded in Punycode using a number of algorithms. Punycode is simply an ASCII version for the IDN, allowing it to resolve with the current internet system.
Punycode domains can be identified by the “xn-” beginning.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”WHOIS”][vc_column_text]
Whois is an Internet database that contains information on domain names, including the name servers associated with the domain name, the domain registrar, registrant and the domain’s Administrative and Technical contacts. By performing a WHOIS search, you can find out when and by whom a domain was registered, their contact information, where the website is hosted, when the domain expires, and more.
The Whois is also a tool that searches the domain name information contained in WHOIS databases. It is generally used to check the availability or ownership of a domain name.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”What is Web Hosting?”][vc_column_text]
Web hosting is a service that allows organizations and individuals to post a website or web page on to the Internet. A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website or webpage to be viewed in the Internet. Websites are hosted, or stored, on special computers called servers.
When Internet users want to view your website, all they need to do is type your website address into their browser. Their computer will then connect to your server and your webpages will be delivered to them through the browser.
Most hosting companies require that you own your domain name in order to host with them. If you do not have a domain name, the hosting companies will help you purchase one.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Types of Web Hosting Services”][vc_column_text]
There are various types of web hosting services available to host your website. Before signing up for web hosting services, it is important to understand what kind of service your website needs, the kind of server you or your business needs, your budget, and what type of services the web host offers.
Hosting options available are:
- Free Hosting
- Shared Hosting
- Dedicated Hosting
- Collocated Hosting
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”What is ASP Web Hosting?”][vc_column_text]
ASP web hosting refers to web hosting companies who provide support for ASP, or Active Server Page.
What is ASP?
ASP/Active Server Pages are HTML pages with embedded ASP scripts. ASP scripts are processed on the server before the page is sent to the visitor’s browser. ASP allows you to create dynamic database driven pages, a visitor can access data in a database and interact with page objects such as Active X or Java components.
How does ASP work?
When you type in a URL in the Address Box of your browser, you are asking the web server to send the file to your computer. If the file is standard HTML, then the file that your web browser receives will look exactly the same as it did on the web server. However, if an ASP file is sent to your computer from the server, it first runs the HTML code, then the ASP code. The ASP code could be anything such as the current time, date, or other such information.
How to find an ASP web host?
You will need to find a web host who will host your website on a Windows server. It is safer to host your ASP pages on a Windows server as they are more stable and most ASP components work specific to Windows. You also need to consider if your website uses a database, such as SQL and Access. Make sure your web host provides support for the type of database your website requires.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Which Web Server – Linux or Windows?”][vc_column_text]
The truth of the matter is these two web server platforms are functionally equivalent, it all depends on what are your hosting needs, and what are you most comfortable with.
Both platforms differ in cost, ease of use, versatility and stability. Windows costs more than Linux.
| Linux | Allows for running scripts written in PHP, Perl, Python and other Unix-originated languages. It usually supports MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. |
| Windows | Allows for running ASP scripts and utilizing .NET and other Microsoft technologies. It supports Microsoft SQL Server and Access database. |
If your website does not require any scripting support, you should choose Linux hosting because they are more economical. However, if your website needs scripting and database support, you should choose the platform that supports the technologies you use.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Features of a Hosting Plan”][vc_column_text]
The basic features of a hosting plan include:
Disk Space
All hosting accounts offer a certain amount of disk space that you can use to store your web files. It is recommended that you have some sort of estimates on what you need for various tasks. How much space willyou need for your emails, web files, databases, etc. By breaking down your usage, you can better estimate how much space you should go for.
Email Accounts
Email accounts are a common feature of hosting, especially if you are hosting a domain. There are three main types of email accounts: POP3, forwarding, and aliases.
- POP3 accounts are the traditional inboxes. You have space on the server to store your emails, and at the same time, you can use an email program to download your mail. Each login and password combination usually equates to one account.
- Forwarding mail accounts are useful if you are employing the service of another company to filter your emails for you. Rather than storing your emails on your mail server, emails are redirected to another email address.
- Aliases accounts are similar to forwarding mail accounts. Some hosts allow you to setup a catch-all alias, which is often used to collect emails sent to addresses not recognized by your mail server.
FTP Access
After you have created your web pages on your computer, you need to transfer those files to your web server. The files are transferred to the server by use of FTP.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Can I host my website on my personal computer?”][vc_column_text]
Yes, you can. But before you do so, there are limitations you need to take into consideration:
- You should know how to setup a WWW server software on your computer. This is a software that allows Internet users to access the web files on your computer.
- Your Internet service provider supports you running websites on your home computer. You will need to investigate your bandwidth quota.
- Your computer has to stay on at all times. Each time you turn it off or reboot, your website will become unavailable.
- Your website will load slowly as home internet connections are not designed for serving web pages.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Shared or Dedicated?”][vc_column_text]
Before you make a decision, you need to understand what your hosting needs are, as these hosting services differ in terms of performance and price.
Shared Hosting
In a shared hosting environment, several websites are put on to a single server. This way, the web host can reduce its cost, and services will be cheaper. Limitations include limits on storage and bandwidth, and the performance of your website is largely affected by the needs of the other websites, as you will be sharing the same server resources. This hosting service is ideal for websites that do not require a lot of bandwidth, disk storage or CPU consumption.
Dedicated Hosting
In a dedicated hosting environment, your website is the only one hosted on the server. Because you are not sharing server resources with other websites, your limit is that of the server. This hosting service is for people who plan to run a very popular website, requires a lot of disk space or run scripts that requires more than average CPU consumption.
