To start designing and hosting websites in our time there are basic things you must have ready.
First, you need to understand what they mean to you as either a prospective web developer or a business owner who wants to get things started already.
So, here is a list of requirements:
- Domain Name

In the case of domain and hosting, we will be looking at the site security, bandwidths, storage space and lost of other features that you need to know.
We will discuss these in the subsequent sections and to ensure you get the best of your web experiences we are including our recommendations ( many options from where you will be choosing).
Note: It’s important to understand that some of these needs can badly affect your website or even increase your chances of making more money (as a developer or a site owner). wrong hosting options can lead to loss of properties and a bad business reputation.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the online address of your website. It’s the address that an internet user types in the address or URL bar on the internet browser to go to your site.
What is Hosting
Hosting or web hosting is the business of providing physical memory spaces for your website to occupy. Web hosting companies offer you spaces on their servers for you to keep all information regarding your website. whenever that information is requested by an internet user via a search query, the information is then fetched from the server computer and displayed on the browser page.
