Website Into Internet From Your Computer
If I said "upload
your website into internet" meaning that you need to upload your website
onto your web hosting server then your website can be accessed through
internet.
Once your site
is created whether your personal website, sales page or online store to
sell your own products online, definitely you want it accessible on the
internet around the world. Well, in order to do this you need another 3
extra items. There are domain name, web hosting server (web host) and FTP.

name is your specific website address or your website URL like www.your-domain-name.com

hosting server is a place to create or to keep your own website. Once

3.
Password
is your web hosting ftp password
Whenever you buy the web hosting
package (web host + domain name), the username and password will be emailed

software. When the inquiry arrives at the web hosting server, the web hosting
server software will forward a massage to the requestor whether to accept
or to reject the inquiry. If the inquiry is accepted then the requestor
