If you want to have a space in the internet but you don't know how or where to start, then this post is for you. There are many ways to start your own website and I understand that it is overwhelming at the start. Now let's make it very simple. I am confident that you will learn how to run a website after you finish reading this post. So let's start.

Web host and domain

There are only two things you need in order to run a website: a host and a domain. A host is a computer where you save all your images, files, folders, and web pages. The host must be always ON so that it can serve request/s at any time of the day and night. The host computer is called server. Domain is the web address of your site, anybody can open your website by writing its domain at the browser's address bar. Example of a domain is rtfverterra.com, when you type rtfverterra.com at the address bar, the browser will land at the front page of this blog.
