A domain is part of an internet address following the ‘@’ sign or the ‘www.’ It can be part of your email or web address, or both. A domain name corresponds to a series of numbers that serve as routing addresses on the internet. Special electronic lists match up your domain name with a real location on a computer that is permanently connected to the internet. We create settings within those lists to send and receive your email and to enable people to find your website.
You can use a domain for your website address and your email address. Our domain, for example, is madina-it.com. Based on that domain, we have a website at "www.madina-it.com" and email addresses such as "info@madina-it.com".
A good domain name is easy to say, short, relevant and memorable. Preferably with no hyphens or underscoring.
The most commonly known domain suffixes are .com, .co.uk, .com.bd. For easy recognition and branding, you would normally want to use one of these. For UK businesses, we would generally recommend using .co.uk and BD businesses .com.bd whereas if you are intending to trade overseas and don't want to be considered as primarily a BD/UK company we would suggest that you pick a .com. Other common suffixes include.net, .org, .org.uk, me.uk, .org.bd, me.bd .biz and .info. You might want to consider getting several domain names – eg .net and .org.uk, .org.bd and .info to prevent someone else stopping you expanding to this in the future.
Let's break it down. The basics: you want a website. You've got great ideas for content, a vision board describing your site's mood, and even a wishlist for additional functions you want for your website. But how exactly do you get your site online? That's where hosting comes in. Your website needs a hosting provider to get it up on the web and publicly available to visit. Web hosts are companies that provide the server space necessary to store your website. As web traffic attempts to access your site, the necessary data is transmitted from the server to the visitors' device. Web hosting providers do, however, differ in the variety of plan types and options they offer. So having a quality web host is crucial.
Just getting started? With a Starter Shared plan, you can host one website — a great place to begin! If you're looking to manage a handful of sites, a Shared Unlimited plan allows you to host any number of websites (we say unlimited and we mean it!). Whatever flexibility you need, MadinaIT offers it.
Whether you're building your business or your brand (or both), you want to put your best foot forward. An exclusive email tied to your domain can give you a professional edge as you work to grow your website. With MadinaIT's Shared Starter plan, you get a email @ your domain.
Domain name is the address of your website that people type in the browser’s URL bar to visit your website. In other words, if your website was a house, then your domain name will be its address.
Web hosting is the place where all the files of your website live. It is like the home of your website where it actually lives. A good way to think about this is if the domain name was the address of your house, then web hosting is the actual house that address points to. All websites on the internet, need web hosting.
