Learn the basics of domains, web hosting and SSL, and understand what you need to successfully launch your website online.
A domain name is the address people use to find your website on the internet. For example, webtrovix.com is the domain name of WebTrovix Technologies.
Your domain should be easy to remember, relevant to your business and ideally match your brand name.
Web hosting is the service that stores your website files and makes them accessible to people on the internet.
When someone visits your domain, the hosting server delivers your website to their browser.
SSL helps protect information transferred between your website and its visitors. Websites using HTTPS also provide visitors with greater confidence when browsing your site.
SSL is especially important for websites that handle forms, customer information, accounts or online payments.
Whether you are launching a business website, personal portfolio or student project, having the right domain and hosting is an important first step.
