Demonstration: WHOIS.

Hosting services

A web hosting service provides web servers for clients.

Unless you (or your company) maintains its own servers, you are probably using a web hosting service for your websites.

Services are not limited to web hosting. Hosting services typically include:

• Web hosting
• FTP hosting
  • Upload files to web host
  • Upload files to non-web folder
• Email hosting
• Database hosting (for WordPress, MediaWiki, etc.)
• Registration of a single domain name
  • Typically not with the hosting service itself, but a registrar associated with the hosting service
• Can host multiple domain names in single account

Domain names

Domain names, such as some-domain.com, must be registered with with a Registrar service.

Registering a domain name does not, in itself, make the domain appear on the web.

You must first configure your registry entry to specify the web hosting service which hosts your website.

This configuration may be automatic, for example when you sign up for a web hosting account and get a "free domain name" with the account.

Or you may need to configure your domain registration settings yourself, as you register additional domain names.
