Take your time, search the world, search the web, and deliver something new, something different from the normal COPY and PASTE that most bloggers have attuned themselves to. Copyright issues have dragged down so many blogs. Googl e has no tolerance for plagiarism. Take your time, get content and bring out a unique output.  You will find that you will drive traffic. The world always needs something new, a change in the way of things.
  2. Graphics and Images: Illustrations and images are one of the biggest things that grow blog traffic. But you must know that most of the images you see on the web have copyright. To be on the safer side, we advise that you use public license image services like pixabay or create your own graphics yourself. There are many free tools on the web for graphics and and illustrations.

Once your Blog gets good traffic, remember to pay our tutorials a visit for guides on how to monetize your blog. Every hardwork deserves a reward!

What is Web Hosting?

Web hosting, you would keep wondering, what does it really mean? Well we shall try to put it across in a layman’s language.

But before we start do you know what a domain means? If no, check it out here!

Now back to web hosting!. Let’s assume you live on No. 3 Lincoln drive, Shiropshire.. You certainly dont live in the air!. You must have your own house or a landlord/landlady that you pay rents to in order to have a room/rooms, flat or whole house.

Look upon your address as your domain name where anyone can always come to look for you, and your house as your Hosting account. These are the internet equivalent of the the real world.

Once your domain is set up, it has to be pointed to a space on a server where you can store your blog posts,  emails, databases, etc. So with this simple idea, a web hosting account and domain name are the very first things to be considered in web hosting.

Now that you have our analogy. what is web hosting proper?

Web hosting is a service that allows Businesses, organizations and individuals to post their websites or web pages on the Internet. Now you would remember we mentioned your landlady or landlord? That’s where your web hosting provider comes in!

A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the websites or web pages to be viewed in the Internet. Now the web spaces or facilities that you occupy is where the server comes in.

Websites are hosted, or stored, on special computers called servers. When Internet users want to view your website, all they need to do is type your website address or domain into their browser. Their computer will then connect to your server and your websites or web pages will be delivered to them through the browser.

Now if you are considering to find a good web host, we would recommend:

  1. Solid Host Global (Our very own)
  2. Siteground
  3. Hostpaddy
  4. Namecheap
  5. Hostgator

What is a domain?

A domain is the “Internet House Address ” of your website. Let’s look at the internet as a world, a villa. Your business will represent your house or estate on that world or village.
So if you were to ask someone to pay you a visit at your “Village house” you’re going to need to give them a specific “house” address to look you up.
This is where your domain comes in.
Let’s say your business name is davisconsults. You can register your domain using any domain extensions like: .com, .net, .biz, .store, .foundation, .org etc. Click here to see domain extensions
The .com domain is the most common domain extension for any type of website.
However these days many TLDs have come up such that you can have a domain extension for your type of business. Eg. An online store can use a .store, an organization can use a .org, a business can use a .biz. There are also country-based domain extensions like .in(India), .ng(Nigeria), .UK(United Kingdom) .us(United states) etc.
The prices of domain extensions vary depending on the WEB value.
So having decided which domain extension is best for your business you would need to register the domain.
Once registered it becomes your web address. Eg. davisconsults.com
Anyone anywhere in the world would be able to visit your “web House” by just typing your domain in their browser.

Start your domain search, find the perfect domain for your business today.
