HOW TO HOST YOUR DOMAIN NAME?

Owning a domain name is one part of getting your website out there to your audience and
consumers. Now you need a web server to point that domain toward. The web server will then do
its thing and serve up your website. You do not need to buy your domain and hosting at the same
place.
There is a cost attached to hosting a domain. This cost can be a monthly and annual fee with the
monthly fee being there to ensure that your website is live every time your audience type in your
domain in their browsers.

The annual fee is to ensure you remain the owner of the domain name you
chose for as long as you want to keep it. Domains which are not renewed annually end up being
available again for other people and organizations to reserve and use rightfully.
