Web Hosting Guide – Part 3
Continued from Web Hosting Guide – Part 2
Domain Name
The domain name is also called the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the address of the website, or even is called “your website’ name”. Domain name is an important marketing tool because people usually associate you with your domain name.
The domain name should also be associated with your website’s content, because it is the search engines that will associate the domain name and the content for ranking your website in their index. Domain name has to be purchased from the domain registration service (your website hosting company can also buy it for you), and it is usually bought in the multiples of 1 year.
You will have to periodically renew the domain name so that it is available to you. If you fail to register it when the new registration is due, then anyone can buy it and you will lose its use for your website.
Add-on Domain
Add-on Domains are independent domains which get their separate homepage and directory but they are actually parked on top of a sub-domain which is created on the main domain of the account.
