What is the diference between domain and hosting? Thanks?

Let me see if i can answer your web hosting question easily. Web hosting is really a computer hooked up to the internet in a building with a very fast connection that holds your website on it. Usually to make this happen you get "web hosting" from a company that offers this service. That company has a computer in a building that is hooked up to a very fast connection and sells you space on that computer, which is called "web hosting" \n\nA domain is a name that is like a car. you can tell it to go anywhere you want. When you purchase a domain name it will require you to tell the internet how to get to your webpage if someone types in your domain in their web browser. If you have chosen a web hosting company to hold your website on, they will provide you with something called a nameserver which is really similar to a phone number. you will enter those numbers they provided you into the nameserver area of the domain name (where you purchased the domain) and that will tell anyone that types your domain in their browser to get your webpage at the hosting company's computer your bought space from.\n\n\nI hope this answered your question on a simple basis. If you are also in need of hosting I recommend using Heath Hosting. I have had NOT one problem with them. They have great technical support and very easy to work with. Their prices are great too!

Odds are the server is down.  It happens from time to time.  Give the host time to get their computers up and running and it should be back up and running.  If not, they may not have paid their domain or website fees.

domain name is a website's URL (or dot com name)..  for example yahoo.com is the domain name for the Yahoo! Corporation.

I've used a number of services, DreamHost is a cut rate but highly functional company that seems pretty good so far for the kinds of sites I've built. They support multiple domain names on a single account without extra charges, which is great.

You're going to pay to get a domain or pay for the hosting, and as noted before, you've got to provide some sort of legit credentials to get a domain name, so that combo is out.\n\nYou can always get someone to register a domain by proxy for you ... such as Domains By Proxy, which has a partnership with GoDaddy.com to register domains in their name, so yours doesn't get seen.\n\nFree Web hosting, which includes a subdomain:\n\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-NVb99sQ4RK5BVgIbxdcQdcRtfT8-?cq=1&p=7\n\nJust provide fake contact info. It's not a problem as long as no one complains about your site.

all that it means is that for technical reasons a web site has been divided. Perhaps parts of the web site are using two different technologies or are on two separate servers. Not only does the number have no significance, it could be anything b4 the domain name. This is called a host name. (host names can be under the same domain name) As an example, when I make Web sites, it usually starts dev.domain.com (dev for development) - sometimes I separate an on-line store which is in a shopping cart program from the rest of the site by using store.domain.com.

The domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated into IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember "handle" for an Internet address. Because maintaining a central list of domain name/IP address correspondences would be impractical, the lists of domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the Internet in a hierarchy of authority.\n\nDNS Server should installed on your server for configuration. There are many books available in the market to learn how to configure and work with DNS.

you have to buy a domain name, they range from 5 to 500 dollars, you can go to a hosting site, but you won't be able to put your site name in the beggining, it will be the host site, then your site name

If you are asking web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that provides individuals, organizations and users with online systems for storing information, images, video, or any content accessible via the Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center.

Well I have over 10 domains on different web-hosts which I work on (some free of course). It ain't a heap of fun but it's interesting.  And I don't use any stupid web-templates (*cough* My Space sucks *cough*), I write my own code (yes, that includes PHP). And I also am an independent Apache PHP 5 / mySQL / SMTP Mail server - I use my own PC to test my pages and sometimes use it as a web-server (my IP allows me to do so).

The problem is that you're looking for two services for free. First, is the hosting. But if you want to have just your name, you're also looking for a free domain name.\n\nIf you've already registered your domain name, then you are looking for the provider to redirect the URL to his site. Registering a domain name costs money and you aren't likely to find that service for free. There are some that do it for minimal cost, but it's still a cost.

I'd like to know more about the microsoft free domain and hosting for life deal. They charge my business each month (after the beta period anyhow).\n\nBUT... Here's an alternative if you don't mind having five small links (NOT banners) at the bottom of each page in exchange for free hosting complete with cPanel and FrontPage extensions.

The hosting company serves and stores your webpages so that people can see if when they access your URL. There are a lot of options out there to choose from. You can ge it for as cheap as 5 dollars a month. You can choose if you want your own domain, so it would be something custom like joesmoeswebsite.com or you can sign up with something free like GeoCities.

I forget the domain provider! But I think you can try 100webspace.com for a host (this really good) and then pay lower than $5 for the domain, that's much better!

Phew, weighty questions there. Well, a DNS is a "Domain Name Server" Essentially what it does is translate a website's name (ie www.yahoo.com) into it's ip address so that the server can be found. The internet isn't built on words, it's built on numbers, so somewhere along the line, in order for a computer hosting a website to be found, some other computer has to know that www.yahoo.com is hosted on 192.0.0.1 or some such thing. The DNS server is the computer that knows. \n\nNow a proxy server is simply a computer that fetches the internet for you, instead of you going directly to it. If you're not using a proxy, you type in www.yahoo.com, it goes to the dns server, which finds the site, and yahoo sends it's webpage to your computer. If you *are* using a proxy, you type in www.yahoo.com, it goes to the proxy server, then to the dns, then yahoo sends it's page to the proxy, which sends it on to your pc. Yahoo doesn't know you're browsing their site, they only know the proxy is. It's like... sending out a friend to buy some embarrassing personal item from the store. Instead of you going yourself, you give them the money, they go, get the item and bring it back to you, and no one at the store knows you have foot fungus, they think your friend does. Get it?\n\nAs for the last part... I'm really don't know what you're asking, there, sorry.

====================================\n\nActually .... \n\nIt depends on whether you plan to host a web site or not.\nIf you plan to have a web site, then there are several good\nhosting companies that will include FREE domain registration.\n\nIf you just want to register domain ... you really need to\ndo a search.  So many companies offer specials that unless\nyou check their site you'll not know about them.\n\nA word of caution ... read the fine print.  Just because you\ncan register it for a low fee doesn't mean that there aren't\nstrings attached.\n\n-------------------------------

i believe that web hosting registration is where you pay to have your website hosted (ie. put your HTML pages or other files) \n\nDomain Registration is where you register your TDL (top level domain) name like somename.com or mypage.net.\n\nif you want to run a website for free, there are some places that do hostin for free, and they will give you a free domain name, but its usually a subdomain name like yourusername.freewebhostname.com\n\nor something longer. the reason to go and pay for a domain name is for people to remember easier, and less to type. Remember people are so lazy, that they rather type less and get more. thats why there are more dynamic sites, because people want more and do less. \n\nhope that answers your question\n\n.Indigo.
