Web Hosting and Domain Registrars
Understanding the Differences
Many people often confuse web hosting and domain registration, thinking they are the same service. It's important to clarify that registering a domain name and hosting a website are two distinct services. While a web hosting company might offer to sell you a domain name alongside their web hosting services, most of these companies are not actual domain registrars. Instead, they obtain domains from third-party registrars.
What You Need to Know
Web hosting companies can manage your initial domain name registration, helping you navigate the basics and potentially saving you money. For instance, registrars like Enom.com and Directnic.com charge $30 and $15 per domain, per year, respectively. Managing your own domains can lead to significant savings, especially if you own multiple domain names.
Managing Multiple Domains
If your hosting account is linked to a domain like jass.com, you can add parked or mirror domains such as jasssony.com and jasssidh.com. These parked domains aren't separate websites; they redirect to your main site, jass.com. Be aware that some hosting companies may charge setup or monthly fees for parked domains. By managing domains yourself, you can avoid these fees and find better deals on domain registrations.
Understanding Domain Management
Domain management begins with directing traffic to your website through one of two main methods: pointing or forwarding. This process ensures that when someone types in your domain, they reach your website.
1. Pointing: This involves assigning a Domain Name Server (DNS) address, provided by your hosting company, to your domain (e.g., jass.com).
2. Forwarding: Also known as redirecting, this method redirects traffic from one domain (e.g., jasssidh.com) to another primary domain (e.g., jass.com), which already points to the website.
Conclusion
While the user interface for setting these features can differ among registrars, the underlying concepts remain consistent. Understanding these differences and how to manage your domains effectively can optimize your online presence and potentially save you money.
