Where are the sites stored? How do I know where a particular site is stored? How to choose where to store your site.
If you sell or offer something and you don’t have a site yet, you’re screwed. That’s why, especially for every organization, hobby club, section, etc., you definitely need a website to provide information about yourself, to get feedback from the network. Even many ordinary people create websites and blogs and make money from them. Those “in the know” have far more than one site each.
Where are the sites kept?
That is, every day there are more new projects on the web. More and more information is becoming available in any field of activity. And all this is stored somewhere.
Where do you store your site files?
By and large, sites are a set of files to which any user has permanent access via the Internet.
Can sites be stored on personal computers? Yes, they can. Theoretically, you can make a site and store it on your computer. The problem is that very few people have computers running all the time. And if your computer is at least occasionally shut down (intentionally or through no fault of your own), then your site during this time will not be available to users. And who needs it, you ask? No one. So keep the site on your computer and give access to it via the Internet is extremely impractical for those who want to get something out of it.
Hosting service – is to buy some space to store files of their sites on powerful servers, access to which is provided from the Internet all the time. Most often, hosting services are bought just to store sites. That is, there are special organizations that install very powerful servers, providing them with broadband high-speed Internet access and offer for money to place your files on them. In addition, some sites require special software, which is not easy to set up an inexperienced user at home. And hosting is bought with all the necessary settings.
Most website owners buy hosting for their projects from such companies (hosts). And only quite large organizations can afford to buy their own servers for their online resources.
How to know where to store a particular site?
To do this, in most cases, enough to view dns-records of the domain researched site. View the dns-records can be using various online services.
In the empty field, enter the desired address and click “Find”.
After the entry “nserver:” there may be different values. Based on these values and can easily determine the used hosting of most sites.
How to choose a place to store your site.
Competition on the hosting market is very big. Different companies make very similar proposals, trying to lure customers in different ways. Of course, most users as the main criterion for choosing the cost. Many want to find a free hosting for themselves. But personally, I free hosting for even any serious projects would not advise anyone.
Therefore, for a more correct choice, I recommend to ask the people who constantly work with sites.
