I want to get my own website up and running, so I went to look at prices around the place... I found a good site which has domain names at $11/year, but I'm confusing myself because I'm not sure of the difference between a domain name and web hosting - I want quite a lot of space, and I will use Frontpage to make my site because that also has an upload facility attached, so I just need the domain name right?
However, I cant see anything about how much space I get when I buy a domain name, so this makes me think I need to get web hosting.... please help!!
Thanks :)
What is the difference between a domain name and web hosting?
Go to "https://www.godaddy.com" you can get both for $8.95 a year and lower. Depending on what you want and need. They support Frontpage.
A domain name works like an address forwarding service.
All of your Web site content sits on a computer with a unique address. This is called an IP address. An IP address is made up of a series of numbers, such as 123.23.234.45. Your domain name directs visitors to your site using this IP address.
We use domain names instead of IP addresses because most people find it easier to remember a name rather than a series of numbers.
In order to choose the right hosting plan, you鈥檒l need to consider a few things:
Design
How was your Web site designed? For example, if you designed an ASP or ASP.NET Web site, you'll need to find a Windows hosting plan. If you have a Web site that uses CGI or PHP, you'll need to get a Linux hosting plan.
