Part 1 of 4. The cost of hosting websites has fallen dramatically over the past ten years. What once went for thousands now only costs a few dollars per month, bringing the vast array of online opportunities easily into the price range of almost every business. Before going further, we need to define terms. First, Website marketing deals with Webpages and Websites, email, search engines and the Internet as the foundation of the World Wide Web. Businesses can sell services and goods via Website marketing by using these methods. According to Wikipedia, here are the definitions of phrases that you need to know about when studying Website marketing: The world wide web is a global interlinked network of hypertext documents. Navigable via browser, users can view a vast array of text and multimedia content in an interconnected manner. This content is served up by web servers, computer programs responsible for delivering the requested data to browsers via the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Each Web server has its unique global address to find it over the Internet. This address is called an "IP address and its role is like this: "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there." For example, 63.146.123.0 is the address of the server where google.com is situated. A server can host one or numerous Websites which "are a collection of related Webpages, images, videos or other digital assets that are addressed with a common domain name or IP address." In fact, it's very common for hosting companies to have dozens or even hundreds of Websites on a server. This is one reason that the prices in Web hosting have fallen. A domain name is translated into the IP address by the "global DNS" or "domain name system". The Domain Name System (DNS) is a naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participants. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide. In case that all sounds like a lot of "Blah, blah, blah," when it comes to Website marketing, think of domain names and IP addresses this way? Be sure to check out Parts 1-2 and 4.
