Web hosting is a service provided to individuals to have their website or web page uploaded on the Internet. A web host, or web hosting service provider like www.GoDaddy.com, is a business providing the technologies and services necessary for this to happen. Websites are hosted on large computers called servers that have vast farm space for virtually infinate files. This farm space is where your files are stored, and protected. To view your website online, just type your Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or Domain Name in the browser's address bar. The computer will connect to your hosting account on the server, and your webpage's home page or landing page will be loaded on the browser along with all the files in your root public folder. Most if not all hosting providers use a "control pannel" to perform all technical tasks associated with hosting a website. This can include creating or re-directing domain names to other websites, adding a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) to your site, or updating website content files.
The "control pannel" is exactly where the file transfer protocol (FTP) is employed to transfer your website files to the hosting account server. This is a universal process for all hosting accounts, and every website listed on a server has a specific ip address for authentication.
A domain name is necessary to locate your files online, which is called your "website address". This website address should be key word sensitive to your content to have the best "Domain Name Authority" to rank the highest on any browser in organic fashion. If you decide to create and host your website with DinoRiese.com, you can get a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) included with hosting.
