Websites are definitely of the most
important and useful services on the internet, as the platform that allow
people to find and consult information on almost any regard, as well as
performing a wide set of general and specialized functions; from sending an
email or instant message to buy something online or attend a class, websites
are the main doors for this to happen.
Nonetheless, for websites to work there is the need to use a domain, being an
important part of web hosting as the main tool that provides these consulting
page platforms with the needed resources and protocols to work with, which are
properly hosted on servers that have to be reachable somehow, where domain
names come to the table clearly as the technology that allows it.
Concept of domain and impact
on web hosting
To put it in context, a domain name is the protocol from which websites can be reachable from
one server to the other, computer to computer and point to point, also
working as the main reference for web browsers and people to look for these
websites by simply entering a group of words. In simple terms, a domain is the
name of any given website and all of its included web pages have their own
subdomain to be identified.
Continuing, in the
domain names of websites there is important information to locate and access
the portal and its pages in question, from country
and organization and other characteristics that are described in the top level
domain name and sublevel domain name. However, the most important function
respecting the domain is to provide a proper leading address to the server
hosting such website, along with all of its resources and content to
function.
Since the domain name is the route to
access any website globally, web hosting services and their function to host
these sites consider this function and protocol imperative, including it on
service plans and making clear that web hosting and domain are topics that
usually are not addressed separately, but together as one since any of them can
work properly without the other.
For example, domain names are usually
included on service plans for free or at least rented while the site is live.
Although, some cheaper and even free web hosting solutions do not include
domain and the client must look for it, paying its use separately per month or
yearly depending on the case and service conditions.
