If you want to establish a website, you need domain name custody, right? No, not exactly. "Domain custody" is not a practical thing. However, it is a combination of two elements that must be opened on the website: domain name and US virtual host.

　　What is a domain name?

　　The domain name hosting may not be a practical thing, but the domain name is. The domain name is the address of the website -when people want to access the website, it is the content that people enter the search bar of the Internet browser. For example, if someone wants to visit our website, they can enter jtti.cc. Although the website can be created without a domain name, the settings will not be completed, and no one can access the website through the Internet.

　　It should be noted that each website has a unique domain name that others cannot use. For example, because we have JTTI.CC, no one can ask for this domain name before we give up. When choosing your own domain name, it is possible that others have used the domain name they want -so it is helpful to have a backup list. In order to get the domain name for the website, it is necessary to register it through the domain name registrar. Under normal circumstances, this is the same company of the hosting website -if you like it, you can also use a third party.

　　What is the US virtual host?

　　If the domain name provides "address", the host service provides the actual space of "life" for the website. American virtual hosts rent space on a special computer called a server for all data and files (HTML, image, video, etc.) required for storing websites.

　　Generally, the hosting company operating independent servers will handle daily maintenance and update, backup, safety, disaster recovery, etc. There are several different types of American virtual hosts, including: sharing, VPS, dedicated and cloud host. Each type of host has its own advantages, so it is important to study these options and truly understand your needs.

　　Shared host

　　Sharing host means sharing a physical server with several other users -in fact, some companies custody hundreds of users on the same machine. In other words, a lot of websites are sharing the same resources.

　　The main disadvantage of sharing hosts is that the performance of the website is almost affected. why is it like this? Because when sharing resources with other websites, anything that affects a certain website will also affect other websites. For example, if a website on the shared server is infected with the virus, then all other websites are easily infected with the same virus.

　　Although there are any potential problems, sharing the host is a good choice for websites that have just started or small.

　　Special host

　　The special host belongs to another: the entire physical server is specifically used for a certain (some) website and their needs. Other users will not affect the performance of the website. You can use a custom operating system or software to customize the server, and the environment is safer. Unfortunately, the cost is quite expensive for many small business owners.

　　VPS host

　　VPS is usually considered a happy intermediate choice. It allows some customized and secure dedicated servers while still running in a shared environment. Although it still share a physical machine with other users, it will get some of its own resources, and the price is closer to the shared plan than the special plan.

　　Cloud host

　　Cloud hosting is very similar to sharing host services, but it is not a shared physical server, but a library of using the entire server. This advantage is that not only the resources are almost unlimited, but also have almost no chance to lose service: if one server fails, the other server will take over immediately. In addition, it is only necessary to pay for the service used within one month, not the constraints of a fixed monthly fee.

　　Basically, domain names and hosts are what they need

　　The domain name custody may not be a real thing, but it can try to get the right idea: the domain name and virtual host are very real, and the two need to make the website run.
