WEBSITE & BLOG

1.1 WHAT IS A WEBSITE

A Website is simply the collection of Webpages joined together


and saved on a computer called Web server. Which usually have a
common Domain name that serves as a means of identification for
internet users.
In a layman definition a Website is simply a collections of files (i.e
codes,images, audio, videos e.t c) stored on the internet.
We will be studying how is it possible to create this file, store it and
lastly make it accessible to internet users around the world.

1.2 TYPES OF WEBSITES

Basically, the types of websites is dependent on the use of the


best. We have a lot of them visible on the internet.
Examples of Type of Websites

1.3 COMPONENTS OF A WEBSITE

There are two key components that happens to be the life wire of
every Website. Without this two components a Website cannot stand.
The first step you must undertake when developing your website is
simply getting this two components Ready and fully set-up.

The Two Components includes:

1. Domain name
2. Web Hosting

I hope we are following up to this point. You are lost kindly take a
pause, stretch if possible, relax and take a child refreshing glass of
water or juice. Then, after you feel relaxed start reading from 1.1.
Domain Name and Web Hosting these are the life wire of Website
development. If you are able to understand these two concepts and
how they work hand in hand. Then you are doing fantabulous!
I will explain the two concepts in detail and simple term. Remember!
We are in this together.
Let's look at Domain Name.
Domain Name

Domain Name

Domain Name is a unique address where Internet users can


access your website. A domain name is used for finding and
identifying computers on the Internet.
A Domain Name is simply an Address specific and unique to your
website. Remember I said a Website is a collection of files stored on
the internet. Now there are millions of files store on the internet.
Domain name makes it easier for internet users to identify and have
access to your website. One would ask how does a Domain Name
looks like. Just as a mail boxes those days are identify as PMB then a
number attached. a Domain name is identify with HTTP & WWW
(A good example is Https://www.Facebook.com) if this line look
familiar to you. Then you have idea of a Domain Name.

Types of Domain Name


.com = this shows the website is built for commercial purposes.
.biz = this shows it's a business Website
.info= this is for information
.pro = professional website
.tv = it's specifically for television
.ng = its coverage is restricted to Nigeria, meaning it can't be
accessed by non- Nigerians
.net = network

Now I will be giving key hints when getting a Domain Name and
also how to make money from domain name.
First if you are reading this book you don't know about Freelancing
take a few seconds and Google about it. I will advise you to Create an
account on www.fiverr.com set up the account and I will show you
route to make money online using domain name.

Hints
1. When getting a Domain Name try checking the availability of the
domain name on Google Domain.

2. Try as much as you can to make the domain name cachy and
short. Easy to remember.
3. The availability of a Domain Name especially for popular names
is difficult so try manipulating either the letters if the domain
name is not available.

4. Always source domain name from a reliable source.

Ways to make money in Domain Name

Domain Name stacking


Domain Name recommendation

Google about them and select the one suitable for you. It's a nice
way to make money as a freelancer on Fiverr.

Web Hosting/Web server

This two terms are usually used interchangeable, I will explain them
both. But the one that concerns us is Web Hosting

Web Server

A Web server is a computer that runs Websites. It is a computer


program that distributes web pages as they are requisitioned or
demanded.
The objective of a Web server is to store, process and deliver web
pages to the users. This intercommunication is done using (http).
When we say computer it doesn't necessarily mean desktop or
laptop it could mean a device that performs high or logical function.

Web Hosting

Web Hosting

This is our primary concern along with Domain Name.


Web Hosting is simply the process of renting or buying space to
house your website on the world wide web(Internet). Web Hosting is a
service purchased from a Hosting Service providers. This service
enable you to get a space on the internet to store your Website file
and make it accessible to internet users.
Just like our Network providers (Mtn, Smile, glo, Spectronet, Airtel)
that provides us certain mechanism to have access to the internet
from our devices (we pay for data, which have a time period to expire
and usuage limit). This is the exact way Hosting Providers function to
give our website a space on the World Wide Web (Internet).

Types of Web Hosting


One thing you should note is that types of Web Hosting is
differentiated mainly by the kind of technology used for the server,
level of management provided and the level of control.

Types of Web Hosting:


1. Shared Web Hosting
2. Dedicated Hosting
3. VPS
4. Reseller Hosting
5. Cloud hosting

Can a Domain Name operate without Hosting?


No!
Vice versa. Both must work hand in hand to make your website visible
on the internet.

Layman Breakdown

Remember my definition that a

Website is a collection of files stored on the internet.

There are millions of files on the internet. What makes your website
unique and give direction to internet users on how to locate it is called
The Domain Name.
For the your website to be accessible to internet users. You must
acquire a space from Hosting Providers who would store up all your
file on their computer for internet accessibility. This process is called
Web Hosting.
Basically a domain name system is like a massive address book
that is constantly updated. Behind each domain name, there is an
address of the web hosting service storing the website’s files.
Without domain names, it will not be possible for people to find your
website and without web hosting you cannot build a website.

Note
All Websites on Earth have a unique address called a Domain Name.
It hosted on a server. This process of hosting and saving it on a server
is called Web Hosting.

Hope we are clear up to this point. If there is any Confusion try


reading over and over again.

I know the questions on your mind are:

1. How to get Domain Name

2. How to purchase hosting Services.

3. After that what is required for my website to be up and running.

I will answer all your questions it's a gradual process so keep reading
and learning.

us a functional website.

Methods of Website Development

There are two ways. In a layman description We have the Hard Way
& Easy Way depends on which way you want? There are two
methods used to create a website/blog

1. Hand coding
2. CMS

I will explain each of them... First of all let do Code

HAND CODING

Knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript is highly required in this


method. This is the first and oldest method of creating a Website. This
is known as PROGRAMMING It has to do with starting web creation
from scratch without template.
HTML Hyper text markup language is not a programming language.
Instead it's a standard language used to create web page. This is the
skeleton of all Websites.
Cascading Style Sheet (CSS)
CSS is just there, it's function would be to add style to your HTML.
CSS is a stylesheet to add color, font and others. CSS uses this { }
unlike HTML that is how to differentiate them in a document.
JavaScript,HTML and CSS can be used to create a simple website
but if you want to add other functionality and spice to your website you
go for Javascript. it uses the same angle bracket like HTML but the
difference is it written like this <Script> when ever you see this you
know you are working with JavaScript.

Difference between HTML, CSS and JavaScript

your journey.

One would ask Easy or Hard Way
How can we develop a Website. What are the steps involved.
Let's delve into it.

Steps Involved in Website Development

First Step
Purchase of Domain Name

The number one step in developing a Website. Is buying or getting


a Domain name for your Website.
There are two kinds of Domain name available on the internet.
Any website must go for any of the two.

Two Main Type of Domain Name

2. Premium or purchased domain name

Let's look at Free Domain and How to get it, and also it's
disadvantage. ( Awoof dey run belle).
Free Domain.
This domain are absolutely free of charge you are not paying a
dime to have them. But they have disadvantages and limitations…

Sites to Purchase Free Domain

www.blogger.com
www.simplesite.com
www.wordpress.com

Disadvantages
1.They are childish and less attractive. Compared to the purchased
domain.

2.Another disadvantage of free domain, your domain name would be


attached to the company name what do I mean. Instead of your
website to be www.Okeke.com or .net, .ng It
wouldbewww.okeke.wordpress.com
or www.okeke.blogspot.com this would make your website appear
childish and imature.No (2)... is a turn off... For clients the long link to
your website could limit your traffic. Especially if it's a blog.

3.Lastly, Your template, design, website feature and page


responsiveness are limited to the company choice.

4.If you intend making money from website design this is a no go


area.Except you want to open for opening sake.

A blog (shortening of “weblog”) is an online journal or informational


website displaying information in the reverse chronological order, with
the latest posts appearing first. It is a platform where a writer or even a
group of writers share their views on an individual subject.
Majority of people still wonder whether there is any difference
between a blog and a website. What is a blog and what is a website?
