Introduction

A domain name is a unique name on the internet. It serves as an identity address that identifies you in the World Wide Web. A web hosting service houses the domain name and its files.

The 4 C Domain valuation

The 4 C Domain valuation is an easy to remember guide when it comes to domain hosting registration with an emphasis on the domain name. The first is Character; the shorter the better. The second is Commerce; the value of a domain is derived from its potential to drive traffic and deliver revenue to a business. It should therefore be marketable. Then there is .Com, which is the preferred extension. The last is Comparables; compare your domain name with others in your field in the relevant domain sold history to weigh the market value.

A web hosting service is the place where you put the files that build up your website. This makes it possible for you to access them through your domain name. In other words, web hosting hosts the domain name. When thinking about web hosting, it’s always worth it to look at hosts that offer extensive language support and those that also come with other free applications, and also very good and reliable support service.
