What is a domain name and hosting

What is web hosting and domain?

Web Hosting is simply a space allocated to a server attached to a fast Internet connection. The space is determined by the hosting companies. MKhost offers more hosting packages with

smaller and larger space. Web hosting, in fact, is not just a hosting space, but a kind of service that includes several more features / features like:

• Bandwidth, this is the monthly data transfer (images, texts, various files attached to the hosting server) that are transmitted between visitors, users and the hosting server.
• Email addresses to help you send and receive email messages to your friends / coworkers ...
• Backup support - This refers to the backup which is more than necessary due to sudden loss of data, whether it will be a client’s unintentional error, whether it will be a hacking / crashing attack that can ruin the website, to hardware problems on the server.
• Control panel - a panel that will allow you to manage the hosting service easily, so with just a few clicks you can create an email address, or install a script (ex. Joomla). MKhost uses cPanel + Fantastico to easily control the hosting and easily create additional scripts.

Domain - the name that is characteristic for each web site. For example mkhost.com.mk is our recognizable name that you visit and in fact you are now reading its post. 

All web pages on the Internet initially function with the IP addresses assigned by its hosting servers, but it is very difficult to remember IP addresses (ex. 174.133.183.58), so we use easy-to-remember domains.

Domains are unique and there can’t be two identical domains. It is possible to have two identical names with different extensions (ex. mkhost.org, mkhost.com.mk etc.). The end extensions are not very important in their use and do not have strict rules in use, but it is advisable if your website is targeting visitors from Macedonia, the extension to be .mk which would show that the

domain has a connection with Macedonia.
