Hosting can be free or paid
Free hosting. Some companies provide space for what You do not have to pay. These organizations do not take any responsibility for Your website. At any moment they can delete it without providing You with any information and without receiving any permission from You. Instead of their service they demand certain conditions like the ability to place advertisements. Moreover, such companies’ services are limited.
Paid hosting can be compared with a rent of a flat. Good conditions and lots of room usually mean higher price. Development of technologies and a high competition on the market lead to formation of a wide range of prices which are calculated for different users with different needs. Anyway if free hosting is worth trying only for a trial version of a website which is figured out only from 1-3 months, inexpensive paid service will provide a successful existence of a small informational website which will be active around the clock.

Domain Name

We can also say that domain name is a computer’s address which consists out of characters. Common space of the Internet names is functioning due to DNS – domain name system. Domain names give opportunity to address Internet nodes and network resources which are placed on them (web servers, e-mail servers and other departments) in a convenient form.

For example, domain name hosting.digisoov.ee has three levels which are separated with dots:
ee – domain name of the first level.
digisoov.ee – domain name of the second level (domain of the second level of the ee zone)
hosting.digisoov.ee – domain name of the third level (domain of the third level in the digisoov.ee zone).
