Hi, and welcome to Learn WordPress.
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,581
In this tutorial, we'll be discussing an essential aspect of setting up your website,
3
00:00:08,581 --> 00:00:13,000
choosing the right website domain and hosting provider.
4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,465
The learning outcomes for this lesson are to differentiate between domains and hosting,
5
00:00:17,465 --> 00:00:25,000
describe what it means to bundle domains, and identify factors to consider when choosing a hosting company.
6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Let's start by clarifying the difference between a host and a domain.
7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,238
Imagine your website is a mobile home, and your domain is the address,
8
00:00:35,238 --> 00:00:40,000
and your host has the land where your house or website is built.
9
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.
10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:54,000
For example, the domain name for the official Coca-Cola website is www.cocacolacompany.com.
11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,769
On the other hand, a host is a service that stores your website's files
12
00:00:58,769 --> 00:01:02,000
and makes them accessible to users on the internet.
13
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,071
It is also important to note that you can change hosting companies if the need arises,
14
00:01:08,071 --> 00:01:13,171
and it is possible to change your hosting company without changing your domain,
15
00:01:13,171 --> 00:01:19,000
but reach out to the new hosting company to ensure you follow the correct steps.
16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
When it comes to choosing a hosting provider, you can look for one that bundles domains.
17
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,000
This means the provider offers both hosting services and domain registration in one package.
18
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.
19
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.
20
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
By purchasing the domain separately, you have more control over your domain settings.
21
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
It also makes it easier to switch hosting providers.
22
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Just remember to keep track of your domain registration renewal dates.
23
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,500
The first step is to select a domain registrar,
24
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:05,000
which is a company that manages the reservation of domain names.
25
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Secondly, search and select a domain name.
26
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
You can also choose country-specific domains if you prefer.
27
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Then you can register the domain, configure domain settings, and then choose a hosting provider.
28
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,500
When selecting a hosting provider, consider factors like 1.
29
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:31,000
Reliability Choose a provider with a good track record for uptime and reliable customer support.
30
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,943
2. Scalability Opt for a provider that allows you to easily upgrade your hosting plan
31
00:02:36,943 --> 00:02:39,000
as your website grows.
32
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,529
3.
33
00:02:39,529 --> 00:02:48,000
Security Ensure the hosting provider offers robust security features such as SSL certificates and regular backups.
34
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,556
4. User-friendly interface Look for a provider with an intuitive control panel
35
00:02:53,556 --> 00:02:56,000
that makes it easy to manage your website.
36
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
And lastly, affordability.
37
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Compare pricing plans to find a provider that offers the right features within your budget.
38
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
So let's see all of this in action.
39
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,652
If you visit a hosting provider, you will usually see different pricing plans
40
00:03:12,652 --> 00:03:17,000
with the relevant features and information that you need to make an informed decision.
41
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,293
To sum up, understanding the distinction between a host and a domain is crucial
42
00:03:21,293 --> 00:03:25,000
for anyone looking to create a website.
43
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,622
Remember, the host provides the space and resources for your website
44
00:03:29,622 --> 00:03:34,000
while the domain serves as its unique address on the internet.
45
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,581
Or to put it differently, a website hosting company provides a space on the internet, a server,
46
00:03:39,581 --> 00:03:42,000
where your website's files are stored.
47
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000
This enables people to access your website anytime by typing its address or its domain.
48
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,048
Many hosting companies also provide one-click solutions,
49
00:03:53,048 --> 00:03:59,000
allowing you to register a domain name, install WordPress, and set up hosting.
50
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Well, literally in one click.
51
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
This process removes any technical hurdles for users.
52
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,250
There are a plethora of hosting companies to select from,
53
00:04:09,250 --> 00:04:14,000
and you have the choice to host your site wherever you choose.
54
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Please note, these are only some examples and there are many more hosting companies to explore.
55
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,114
When you have registered a domain name and have selected a hosting provider,
56
00:04:23,114 --> 00:04:27,000
you can start planning and designing your site.
