-
- Each computer on the Internet has a unique identity,
called an IP (Internet Protocol) address, something like 196.15.0.1.
-
- The Domain Name System (DNS) was invented to translate
these IP addresses into easily recognizable text, like pcvoyager.com
-
- URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator and basically
indicates where your web site is located on the Internet and what type of protocol is used
to access it. For example, www.pcvoyager.com is our web site's URL.

| DOMAIN
REGISTRIES |
| Registering
your own domain name (www.yourname.com) is like owning your own piece of Internet
"real estate". It is done through a Domain Registrar, and it has to be
renewed every year. The name belongs to you as long as you pay the yearly renewal
fee. Most ISP's will register the name for you and allow you to "park"
your name until you have web space to put your web site on. |

| FREE
WEB SPACE |
| Once you
have registered your own domain name, you will need to get web space so that your web site
can be accessible on the Web. Companies offering this service are called "web
hosts" or "web providers" (this can also be your ISP). Free web space
normally means you get a free web site, but not your own domain name. You will get a
subdomain, like http://www.yourhost.com/users/yourname, instead of www.youname.com. |

| SITE MONITORING |
| If your web
site is not getting any visitors or losing some, it may be due to your web site being
"off line" too often, which means visitors can't view it - they get an error
message. Sometimes, a web provider's servers go down and this affects your web site.
"Site monitors" or "Host watchers" monitor your web site 24
hours a day for "down times". As soon as your site is unavailable to
visitors, you will get notified via email. |

| URL FORWARDING |
| If you have
free web space, you may have a long web address like www.yourhost.com/users/yourname.
In most cases, visitors won't remember this long address and if your provider
closes down, you would lose the web address. URL forwarding or redirection gives you
a shorter address like http://yourname.home.com that will point to your existing, long web
address. Your visitors will see only the short address in their browsers. |
