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.
