Parts of a Domain: Top-Level Domain (TLD): The extension at the end of a domain name, such as .com, .org, .net , etc. Second-Level Domain (SLD): The main part of the domain name, such as "example" in "example.com". Subdomain: An extension of the main domain, such as "blog" in "blog.example.com".

4. How to Get a Domain: You can register a domain through domain registrars like GoDaddy , Namecheap , or Google Domains. You pay a yearly fee to maintain ownership of the domain.

7. Types of Hosting: Shared Hosting: Multiple websites share resources on a single server. It's the most economical option but can be slower and less secure. VPS (Virtual Private Server) Hosting: A virtualized server environment where you have more control over resources. It's more scalable than shared hosting. Dedicated Hosting: You have an entire physical server dedicated to your website. It offers the highest level of control, performance, and security but is also the most expensive. Cloud Hosting: Hosting your website on a network of interconnected virtual and physical cloud servers. It's scalable, flexible, and often more reliable than traditional hosting options.

8. Factors to Consider When Choosing Hosting: Performance: Speed and uptime are crucial for user experience and SEO. Security: Look for features like SSL certificates, firewalls, and regular backups. Scalability: Ensure the hosting can accommodate your website's growth. Support: 24/7 customer support is essential, especially if you're not tech-savvy. Cost: Balance your budget with the features you need.
