What is domain name , hosting space , DNS

To create a website you need two things,

·                         Domain Name

·                        Hosting Space

Domain Name:

·       In a nut shell domain name is similar your house address / phone number, its an unique entry where people use it to reach you. Eg : www.vaneeswaran.com .To can purchase a domain from a domain name service  (DNS) provider like godaddy , bigrock paying around 500 rupees (may change based on time / service provide / offer).Yearly once you have to renew your site.

·        You can even buy domain name for free but the extension will be ending in .tk. 
             Link : http://www.dot.tk/ 
  But I will never ever recommend this .tk domain’s as you can hold only these domain for at max 6 months after that you have to pay a lot to renew. So only use .tk domains if you are planning for a site for within 1 or 2 months and NEVER use that site anymore. Also if you use .tk then you cannot use google Ad Sense.

Hosting Space:

·       It is similar to your actual home / mobile phone as compared with previous example. If someone want to call you need (mobile number + mobile phone) or (home address + physical home) right in order to reach you that’s the exact way a (Domain Name + Hosting Space) works.

·         To get hosting space you need to pay for hosting provider like godaddy , bigrock. This will cost around 2400 Rs per year. Also you can use blogspot , wordpress , wix as hosting space for free. But there some disadvantage here, you can only use static website for these free spaces. Also you can’t use your domain name directly with is free hosting space. Your site name / domain will be looking like https://vaneeswarann.blogspot.com .
