Hi, and welcome to Learn WordPress.
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:13,000
In this tutorial, we'll be discussing an essential aspect of setting up your website, choosing the right website domain and hosting provider.
3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:25,000
The learning outcomes for this lesson are to differentiate between domains and hosting, describe what it means to bundle domains, and identify factors to consider when choosing a hosting company.
4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Let's start by clarifying the difference between a host and a domain.
5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Imagine your website is a mobile home, and your domain is the address, and your host has the land where your house or website is built.
6
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
A domain is the unique web address that visitors type into their browsers to find your site.
7
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:54,000
For example, the domain name for the official Coca-Cola website is www.cocacolacompany.com.
8
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:02,000
On the other hand, a host is a service that stores your website's files and makes them accessible to users on the internet.
9
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:13,000
It is also important to note that you can change hosting companies if the need arises, and it is possible to change your hosting company without changing your domain,
10
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,000
but reach out to the new hosting company to ensure you follow the correct steps.
11
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
When it comes to choosing a hosting provider, you can look for one that bundles domains.
12
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,000
This means the provider offers both hosting services and domain registration in one package.
13
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Bundling domains with hosting simplifies the process, as you won't need to manage different accounts with different providers.
14
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Something to take note of is you can also buy domain names separately before signing up with a hosting company.
15
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
By purchasing the domain separately, you have more control over your domain settings.
16
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
It also makes it easier to switch hosting providers.
17
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Just remember to keep track of your domain registration renewal dates.
18
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,000
The first step is to select a domain registrar, which is a company that manages the reservation of domain names.
19
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Secondly, search and select a domain name.
20
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
You can also choose country-specific domains if you prefer.
21
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Then you can register the domain, configure domain settings, and then choose a hosting provider.
22
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,500
When selecting a hosting provider, consider factors like 1.
23
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:31,000
Reliability Choose a provider with a good track record for uptime and reliable customer support.
24
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:39,000
2. Scalability Opt for a provider that allows you to easily upgrade your hosting plan as your website grows.
25
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,529
3.
26
00:02:39,529 --> 00:02:48,000
Security Ensure the hosting provider offers robust security features such as SSL certificates and regular backups.
27
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:56,000
4. User-friendly interface Look for a provider with an intuitive control panel that makes it easy to manage your website.
28
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
And lastly, affordability.
29
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Compare pricing plans to find a provider that offers the right features within your budget.
30
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
So let's see all of this in action.
31
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:17,000
If you visit a hosting provider, you will usually see different pricing plans with the relevant features and information that you need to make an informed decision.
32
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:25,000
To sum up, understanding the distinction between a host and a domain is crucial for anyone looking to create a website.
33
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Remember, the host provides the space and resources for your website while the domain serves as its unique address on the internet.
34
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Or to put it differently, a website hosting company provides a space on the internet, a server, where your website's files are stored.
35
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000
This enables people to access your website anytime by typing its address or its domain.
36
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Many hosting companies also provide one-click solutions, allowing you to register a domain name, install WordPress, and set up hosting.
37
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Well, literally in one click.
38
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
This process removes any technical hurdles for users.
39
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:14,000
There are a plethora of hosting companies to select from, and you have the choice to host your site wherever you choose.
40
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Please note, these are only some examples and there are many more hosting companies to explore.
41
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:27,000
When you have registered a domain name and have selected a hosting provider, you can start planning and designing your site.
