Web Hosting and the Domain Name I
A Web-host is a company that leases out memory space on their Web Servers allowing their clients to publish their Websites on the Internet (World Wide Web). Web hosting is the service provided by the Hosting company that allows you or your company to access the world wide web (WWW) by hosting your Domain (your website) on their servers. They aid with Domain registration, offer Domain mailing services, Website Builder Software and Tech support. They do charge a service fee; their services are not free.
A Domain name must be purchased and registered, provided its available – meaning that the name you have chosen is not already in use. The Domain name is the name that you will assign to your Website. Therefor your domain name will be as an example www.yourdomainname.com.

Everyone interested in having their own website, are required to have a Domain Name. The recommendation is to choose the right Domain name; this is important. Remember that in E-Commerce the focus should be on SEO – Keywords and Keyword phrases, so essentially you would want to choose a name that identifies your Business, is simple, and easy for your customers and visitors to remember. Know also that even though your website is recognized and considered by Search engines, using a professional Domain name for your Business will get you more attention.
When choosing a Web host for your business choose one as listed above, a professional outfit that provides full service with the accompanying support … do not choose one of those that provides Free Hosting Service. Remember it’s imperative that you host your Business Domain through a Webhost Service provider and not one offering Free service.
A known fact is that Search Engines tend to ignore Domain addresses that resides on “Free Servers”, also, you would not want your business-name to have a server host name extension. For example
mybusiness.com/wordpress.com
as you can see whenever you register with a Free Host your Domain name will be attached to their servers name as an extension. You would rather have a domain like www.mybusiness.com for your business instead. Same as with your business email-address, wouldn’t you rather choose, for example info@mybusiness.com instead of mybusiness@hotmail.com?
A proper business email-address like info@mybusiness.com can be obtained by registering your Domain with a paid Web host Service Provider.
I have mentioned in one of my earlier WordPress Blogs that registering at WordPress.com will give you no liberty customize your WordPress website and with WordPress.org you can customize and play with your Website layout and functionality as you please. Having registered with a Paid Web host service provider you install WordPress and can customize it as you please with plenty of different Themes available; some hosts even offer the service of installing and customizing your website for you for a fee.
Contact a Web Host Service provider to register your Domain name and choose a hosting package that will suit you. They will take care of the Domain registration for you, and will aid you in setting up of your Website, whether you choose for WordPress or any other Web builder.
