Domain
The first thing you need. The domain is the unique name that a website receives on the Internet . It identifies your website and is unique. For example, mine is carlosmascaro.es and yours could be yourdomain.com
It is divided into two parts, the first is the domain name and is the name algeria phone number library give to our website. The second is the domain extension and identifies the geographic location or type of website
The most commonly used domain extension is the generic .com, followed by geographic domain extensions, such as .es for companies established in Spain.
When deciding on a domain, I recommend that you check that it is also available on the main social networks, so that your clients and followers can easily locate you. To do this, you can use the free website namecheckr , which tells you whether a domain name is available or not, with which extensions it is available and whether it is being used on social networks or not.
Domain names are usually priced at around 12-15 euros per year and are purchased from a domain name provider.
Hosting
Hosting is the web hosting service. In other words, it is where the website is stored . There are many hosting companies where, for a monthly fee, they include a certain amount of space to host your website and email service. All of this is associated with the domain that you have previously contracted. An important fact is that it is not necessary for your domain provider and your hosting provider to be the same company, although there is no problem with them being the same. You will see that there are providers that offer you both options.
When choosing a hosting provider, look at the comparisons available on the Internet. Don't go for the cheapest one, because cheap is expensive. Compare and choose one that offers, among other things, good loading speed and security . Not only will this improve the user experience of your visitors (no one waits more than 2 seconds for a website to load), but it will also help you pass the WPO (Web Performance Optimization) speed tests, which are so necessary to achieve good web positioning results in the future.
Finally, keep in mind that most users will arrive at your website via mobile, hence the importance of fast loading times, as bandwidth and loading speed are affected when browsing from a mobile device.
Finally, the type of hosting will depend on your CMS and the capacity your website needs, but in general, a shared one will be enough. And if you are going to use WordPress as a CMS (a highly recommended option), the main providers currently available that I can recommend are Webempresa , SiteGround or Raiola Networks .
CMS
CMS (Custom Management System) is the content management system. It is the software that allows us to create and manage content, as well as manage and maintain the website.
Depending on the type of website you need (corporate, personal blog, e-commerce) it will be better to use one type of CMS or another. If you don't want to complicate things too much and you don't need a corporate website at the Ibex-35 company level, I recommend using WordPress . It is the most widely used CMS today, it is open source, it is included in most hosting plans and it is easy to manage. Not to mention that if you hire the services of a professional to do the design and development of the website, using WordPress you will save a lot of money, as there are many WordPress experts, so you can ask for quotes and compare. In addition, it will be easy for you to hire the maintenance service later with the same professional or another.
