After you buy a domain name whats next? Will the site be live? |
Thought I would give you a brief explanation so you understand this better.
First you buy a domain name from a site like Host Gator , say it is www.yourdomain.com. You now need hosting to make it live.
Basically your domain name can be seen like your phone number. It is unique, and no one else can have the same name.
Now a phone number by itself is no good unless you have a service provider (in this case a web host). You need to pay a monthly fee to keep this domain name visible to everyone on the internet.
You have to pay a yearly fee for your domain name, and a monthly fee for your web hosting. You cannot have one without the other!
