You may have the question  “what is web hosting?” Well, one way is to think of a website like a house. All houses have two related parts: an address and a piece of land where the house sits. Websites work similarly.

Domain names are like a house’s street address. It’s where people go to visit your website. Web hosting is like the land where you build your house. This is the space on the Internet where you place your website’s files. Typically, web hosting runs on a server owned by a web hosting company — your web hosting is just a small section of the company’s  server.

Every website on the Internet, no matter how big or small absolutely must have a domain name and web hosting.

In this episode, Nick tells Simon all the ins and outs of website hosting and explains all the fundamentals you need to know to protect your business online.

Top Tips:

Make sure that you get yourself an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). This will give you a protective layer, just to make sure that no invasive attacks can come in. 

You will want to make sure that your name is not on the public registry to ensure that your contact details are not listed publicly on the web. GoDaddy Privacy Protection prevents your personal/business details from being freely accessible. Get yourself domain protection, just to make sure that your name is off, and you'll be good to go.
