WHAT IS WEB HOSTING

What is web hosting?

The web hosting consists of many very powerful computers scattered around the world that store and welcome all the databases associated with website: a computer will generally support multiple websites at once. Web hosting ensures the continuous and secure distribution of the content created on the website. 

Nowadays, web hosting goes much further than simply hosting a website on a computer: web hosting services, whether we talk about GoDaddy or HostPapa, offer many features to their users , that the website in question is a blog , an online store or a platform to market a product. WordPress, for example, is the default web host that supports most online blogs, while Shopify is one of the most recognized providers for online shops.

What is a domain name?

The domain name is the central part of the URL. Remember that a URL is the text in your navigation bar. For example, google.com is the domain name of the Google search engine. Note that there are several degrees of domain names Generally, Internet users have the option of obtaining second-degree domain names, while it is almost impossible because it is too expensive to obtain a first-degree domain name. 

In the following URL, www.google.com , the ".com" is the first level, while "google" is the second level of the domain name. So there are as many identical second-level domain names as there is first level possibility (.ca, .fr, .qc, .com, .org, etc.)

The function of the domain name is to offer the user a simple way to get to your website. In other words, it is the gateway to your website. 

What is the uptime of a server?

You have typed the URL of the site you are trying to open in the Google Chrome navigation bar and you are waiting, waiting, and waiting. After more than 30 seconds of waiting, you decide to go elsewhere. 

This was an example of too much uptime of a server. In other words, the wait time of a server is the time taken by the server on which your website is hosted to make your website accessible to the user. It is also the time during which the sharing and hosting equipment is available in relation to the time during which it is not. This ratio gives the user insight into the reliability and stability of the website.
Note that server uptime should not be confused with bandwidth , which is a unit dependent on your Internet connection.
