In this CodeYam Academy session, CodeYam CTO and Cofounder Jared Cosulich answers some common questions about hosting and domains.
Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn:
What do we mean when we say “hosting” and “domains”? Can you have one without the other?
How is a hosted website different from what I see when I double-click a file on my computer or visit a URL with “localhost” in it?
How do I choose a hosting provider? Which hosting providers do you recommend?
Do I need a domain, or can I launch without buying one? What would you recommend for a personal website?
How should I choose a domain name and extension? Should I buy a .com, .ai, or another domain extension?
What should I do if the domain I want isn’t available?
Where and how do I buy a domain? Am I stuck with the provider I choose?
When I buy a domain, what have I actually purchased? Do I own it forever?
What’s the realistic cost of hosting and a domain for a simple site?
When has someone outgrown free hosting? What are the signals?
What hidden costs should I watch out for?
