dns hosting providers

A lot of confusion (rightly) that are running on the domain, web hosting and email and what is the difference between them. Most online services these days offer all these services, it is really necessary to understand the differences? Just as there are carpenters who can claim all aspects of a small project themselves (by rough carpentry, painting, carpentry, flooring, etc. ..), normally hire specialists in achieving large construction projects. Similarly, many hosts have their own specialization and can get the best return on your money by choosing services best suited to their needs.

To illustrate how these work together, I'll describe the process of registering a domain name for sale my new world of exchange of the invention, the widget "" Of course.

Domain Registration
The first step in the process of creating a domain is registered. This is done through ICANN accredited registrars, which maintain collectively the Shared Registration System (SRS). There are over 500 companies offering these services and some larger ones for Network Solutions Go Daddy and Register.com. Just let me know if registrars "JonsWidgets.com is available and, if necessary, save it in my name." As it turns out is available, but that everything is done I reserve the right to use the domain name.

DNS Hosting
Now that "JonsWidgets.com" reservations ", the next step is to achieve mastery in the book of Internet telephony, also known under the Domain Name System (DNS). When you surf the Internet, domain names are a convenient way for humans to remember sites and e-mail. However, we all know that computers only understand ones and zeros, so that all time must be translated into a number. Each computer on the Internet (both browsers and servers) is called an IP address – is a unique number that identifies this computer on the network and it works very well as a number phone. Whenever you type a domain name in the browser, the first thing the team to do is perform a DNS lookup for find server address for its future. These days, most registrars offer domain services DNS housing. Once you save a domain name, the Registrar General, will create a list of DNS that points to a page indicating that the common domain is "parked" but a site Web does not yet exist.

Web Hosting
OK, now is the time to talk about web hosting. So now everything we have done is secure domain name and stressed that the browser of a generic type of "Under Construction" page. The first question is: Who should use as a host? "Choosing a host must be the result of finding the best fit between the needs of your site and the host society. It depends largely on the technology used in developing your site. There are two major considerations:

• Means Environment: Windows vs. Linux Most hosting packages available by Windows and Linux hosting environments basis. LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) is a collection of use of open source software that provides Internet low cost accommodation. Windows hosting is generally a combination of Windows Server, Internet Information Server, SQL Server and Technologies ASP.NET that are more expensive than the license, and therefore generally a little more for this service.
• Additional Applications There is a growing list of applications that provide web hosting providers and in many cases are free! Two of the most popular supplements include blogs and systems for content management. I'll cover both in more detail in future entries, but these technologies makes it extremely easy (and cheap) for the Building Powerful, professional looking web sites without anyone having to write a single line of computer code.

The service and performance generally exceed those of a service company specializing in something else or nothing else.

Email Hosting
Email Hosting is like web hosting, in that May will not necessarily withholding or by recording his or web hosting providers. This is another case of host selection is best for your situation particular. Using myself as an example, several of my domain accounts e-mail 'organized by Google's Gmail service. This is configured by a change in the DNS records for your domain. You can see that mail delivery is also controlled by entries in records DNS. This is it possible to run different types of traffic to servers in different domain name. In the screenshot above, in fact, we can see a few entries (CNAME called) Creating subdomains servers to direct traffic completely different and / or services such as email, calendar, document sharing, etc. ..

Conclusions
There are a couple of points to take away from this with respect to the Web and email hosting. The first point is to understand that he is not indebted to the Registrar Your domain also host your website or e-mail. The second point is that Web hosting provider should be chosen based on the requirements of your website, not vice versa. Finally, in many cases, you may qualify for "Best of Breed 'suppliers in the form of increased services for less money.
