Choosing a Domain and Hosting

Choosing a Domain Name

The website started from a domain name. Not design.

Domain is the name of your website. An address that people will use when trying to visit your website via a browser.

For example, the domain name of this website is penasihathosting.com.

Having a good domain name is a very important first step.

What is the reason?

Firstly because a domain name can help you build a brand that will stick in the minds of your customers or visitors.

Second, a domain name can help determine your target market. For example, my website domain: penasihathosting.com.

So, the 2nd step in how to create a website after selecting the platform (WordPress) is to determine the domain name.

If you are still confused about choosing a domain name, here are some tips that I hope will make it easier for you to find the right domain name:

• If you plan to create a website for yourself, then you can use your name as the domain: YourName.com.
• If you create a website for a company, you can also use the company name: YourCompanyName.com.
• If it is for an organization, you can also use the name of the organization, for example GenerasiBebasRiba.com

And use popular domain extensions to make your website look more professional, such as:

• .com
• .net
• .org (usually used for organizations)
• .sch.id (suitable for school websites)
• .ponpes.id (suitable for Islamic boarding schools)
• .co.id (for companies that already have a business license)
• .id (suitable for personal use, but now its use is common and not only suitable for personal websites)

Other tips:

• Avoid trademarks or trademarks, for example the domain name: reviewhpSAMSUNG.com
• Avoid using hyphens or numbers *And *keep it simple

Oh yes, domain prices are not too expensive, starting from IDR 145,000 per year.

Note: I will tell you how to get a free domain for 1 year at the next stage.

Choosing Web Hosting

Web hosting is a server for storing website data online. Its function is to connect your website to the internet.

Maybe you are wondering: What is the difference between web hosting and a domain?

A domain is just an address, like a home address. While hosting is the house.

Without an address (domain) and home (hosting), people will not be able to enter your website.

That's why you need both so that your website can be accessed by everyone on the internet, from all over the world.

You have learned how to choose a domain. So, how do I choose hosting?

There are more than 100 hosting providers in Indonesia. Choosing one among hundreds is not an easy job.

Choosing hosting is the first milestone you need to go through, because:

• If you choose the wrong hosting, your website could run into problems in the future, such as data being lost, the website often having errors/not being accessible, and the like
• If you choose the wrong hosting, your website could be easily exposed to malware, easily penetrated by hackers, and the like

In essence, choosing the wrong hosting will not help you generate sales, in fact the costs will increase because you have to change hosting providers.

This hosting problem is quite complex.

Choosing one of the many options can be difficult. It's easy to find, because there are many choices available, but it's hard to find the best one.
