Learning all the key terms in internet industry.
In order to create a website you need a Domain, Web Hosting and Content for the website.
What is a domain?
A domain is just the address to your website. Just like an address to your home or business.
Whats web hosting and why do I need it?
Web hosting is an internet service that allows your website to be accessed in the world wide web. Think of it as if you are throwing the party, who is hosting that party? You can host that party at your home or you can rent a location and they will accommodate you with things such as space and parking. This is similar to web hosting, you pay to rent out a server computer to host your website, in which most web hosting companies accommodate you with virus scanning and malicious attacks.
Common key terms you'll come across
SSL Certificate
These are used to encrypt information from the user to the server. This is very important because your website may not be listed on Google's Search Engine if you do not have this. This is the lock that it placed next into the domain address, this is what tells the user if the site is secured or not.
cPanel
Simply this is just your control panel this has all the tools you need to create your website.
