The Process Of Web Hosting For New Website Owner

We are now living in the age of internet and many of us have our own website there

. Are you looking to make your own website? If the answer is yes then you must have to know about "Web Hosting". Actually, a web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web.

Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers located in their data center, called colocation, also known as Housing in Latin America or France. The scope of web hosting services varies greatly. The most basic is web page and small-scale file hosting, where files can be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a Web interface.

Now you must be thinking what is the process of web hosting? The process is just right here.

Step 1 - Registering A Domain Name: We need to have a domain name before getting a web site on line. These are the familiar web addresses such as mywebsite.com that most browsers use to find a particular web site. Domain names, in fact, are pointers to a particular IP address and we use them because they are easier to remember than a series of numbers.

Step 2 - Website Hosting: We have selected a domain name, registered it and signed up with a web host. Then our web host has to provide us with details about how to get our site up and running. This information includes passwords to get into our account, paths to directories where our files should be uploaded, and most importantly, what our domain name servers are. Here I want to tell something about Configuring DNS. When we first purchase a domain name, it will be registered on the DNS of the registrar. Until we arrange for a web host, the registrar company will usually redirect requests for our domain name to an error page or an 'Under Construction' page.

Step 3 - Uploading Our Website: When we have opened an account with a web host and set the DNS, then we can start uploading our web pages. The most common way to do this is to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software but there are also some other options. Our host will also tell us the location where files should be uploaded. Then we may have to adjust a few settings in our FTP software to upload files correctly. Files can be sent or received in either binary or ASCII mode.

Using the FTP software, we can make a connection to our web server. Browse to the folder where we want to upload files and then find the local files we wish to upload. FTP is the most common way to upload files to our website but is by no means the only way. Microsoft FrontPage has built in transfer methods to automatically upload our entire site or individual pages.
