Domain and hosting is the first step for Website design. In simple language, the domain means the site address and the host is the site space where the site content is placed. According to your needs, you should prepare your own domain and host. It doesn’t matter whether you have a ready-made template website or a programmed website, you need a domain and hosting for your website. In this article, we answer some of your basic questions about this.
What are the differences and advantages of domains and hosts?
What is SSL?
What is the difference between http and https?
An example of the domain or the address of the sites:
Aftab.ir
Compressor.io
Sanjesh.org
Gelavizh.com
Go.co
BBC.tv
What does www mean?
As you can see, some have the suffix co. or com. or anything else. But the similar point of all websites ((www)) is their address at the beginning, which means World Wide Web.
Check all types of site extensions
What is the meaning of the suffixes ((com/.tv/.co./ etc.))? It can be said that some of them have no special meaning. But the most famous ones are ((com.)) meaning ((Commercial)), ((co.)) meaning ((Company)), ((tv.)) television, etc. But the most famous and expensive of all extensions is ((com.)). It is difficult to find a single name in com. found Usually, most of them are already taken. There are some people who prepare special names without using them and sell them at a high price.
Tip: It is recommended to purchase as many (com.) and (co.) extensions as possible for your brand. Because apart from the discussion of branding and the stylishness of your brand and company name in the (com.) domain, many freedoms of action are also included in this category of domains. From Google AdWords to some other facilities that are mentioned below.
Every country like Iran has its own domain extension.
ir = Iran
as = Canada
us = One
of = Emirates
au = Australia
Note: It is recommended to use the ir domain. Do not use or after buying domain com. yourself, an ir. Prepare the same and park it in your host.
The most important reason for suggesting not to use it. First of all, Google’s sanctions and the next reason is the difficulty of setting it up. You need to confirm and commit to get this domain. This is the only domain that asks for commitment for no particular reason.
Download-oriented site
Sites whose reason is to download content are download oriented. Such as: downloading movies and music, computer programs or any type of product that has copyright. The only domain you can use without problems is the ir domain. is Because Iran does not follow copyright laws, you will not have any problems.
An important point: never search the address of the site you want to buy on Google. Some addresses are purchased but do not allow access to search engines.
What is a host?
Host means a host and a place to host the information and content of your website. Information such as: photos and videos, text and music or any content you put on the site.
Just as we need memory to store information in mobile phones and computers, it is the same in the web world. You should consider a memory space for the site. Of course, this memory space has different prices, the cost of which is affected by the company you want to purchase it from and relative to the services of that company. Note that the hosting space is also the programming space of your site. This means that the written programs must be executed in that space. Ready template sites also need this memory space.
Tip: It is not necessary to prepare a large volume from the beginning, you can start with a small space and add your hosting volume if needed.
There are several types of hosts
Hosting based on Windows and Linux to cloud hosting, which is one of the most famous hosts at the moment. One of the reasons for the popularity of cloud hosting is its advantages. High speed and full time support are among the good advantages of this type of service. The flexibility of cloud hosting compared to other hosting is that your information is not located in one place and is actually located on several servers. This will increase your site’s UpTime for all your visitors or users anywhere.
Cloud hosting costs are lower than other hosting.
Introducing shopping sites
Here we introduce you to a list of reliable Iranian companies that have good support and powerful hosts. Such as: Net Afraz, Iranhost and Iranhost (note that the two companies are different), Bahman and some other stores. Choose the best according to your personal taste and of course the prices of the hosts.
Reputable hosting companies have a section for domain sales. In such a way that you enter the name of the desired site in the specified field and the price or different extensions will be shown to you and you can buy whichever one you want.
SSL
Have you ever noticed that when you enter untrusted sites or some nominal government sites of Iran, you come across “Not secure” next to the site address, or does this site lack SSL or secure space for users?
Iranian or foreign host?
Each domain is for a different country. This also applies to hosting. Hosting companies usually have two options: domestic hosting (Iran) and foreign hosting (generally France or Canada). Try to choose internal hosting for your site. which can work if the network becomes intranet. Having a local host will speed up the opening of your site for domestic audiences. Finally, choose your host according to the limitations and benefits and price.
Why is SSL necessary?
SSL stands for secure sockets layer. SSL is actually a type of certificate to protect the security of users who use the website. More precisely, the sites that have this privilege have information protection technology that includes the encryption of raw information in the insecure space of the Internet. You probably don’t want to enter your bank or email information on a site that doesn’t have this secure protocol. Banking sites and payment gateways must have this SSL certificate, otherwise they are fake. Because there are many fake sites that engage in phishing or information theft.
Note: Note that having this certificate will have a great impact on your SEO score and Google does not like sites without SSL.
How to prepare for SSL?
Getting SSL is very easy. It is enough to request SSL from a reputable hosting company. They will guide you in doing this.
