When searching for information about web hosting companies you start seeing all these confusing words that are difficult for you to understand if you are starting in this market. Here I write a summary of the definitions of some words you will find in your search for a web site in a simpler, understandable way. IP Address ( Internet Protocol Address) – is a numerical address assigned to computers on the internet. IP Address are a bunch of numbers. For example: an IP Address of www.naomicald88.ws could be www.naomicald88.ws = 178.48.362.384Domain Name- is a short way of showing a website, when you are searching a website on the internet instead of appear the IP Address ( 178.48.362.384) is going to appear the Domain name (www.website.com).  Domain name is an easy way to remember an IP Address. Domain name has two nameservers, in which the first nameserver is the primary server and the second serves as a backup. Here a list of the different suffix for domain names:.ws – website domain international  .com – commercial business.net – internet providers.org – nonprofit organization.gov – government .edu – educational institutionsName Servers- are special computers on the internet. When you go to google.com or yahoo.com looking for a website, let say www.naomicald88.ws nameservers look for the IP Address of www.naomicald88.ws that is ( 178.48.362.384) and show it to you as a name (www.naomicald88.ws), that is the domain name. Nameservers are hidden parts of the computer that are in charge of matching the Domain name to the correct IP Address. Without nameservers computers would not find your website.Bandwidth- determine the amount of information is transmitted through the network. If your website is handling a considerate amount of traffic or you want to upload videos on your website you are going to need a high bandwidth, otherwise your website is going to break. The bigger the bandwidth, the more information you can transfer through network.Web Hosting- is the space that a company gives you to store your website. This service provides storage for your data and files and make it viewable for the World Wide Web. URL (Uniform Resource Locator )- Just another way of referring to Domain Name. URL Forwarding- If you need to send your domain name to another website address you use URL Forwarding. When visitors are looking for your domain name in search engines, web servers redirects your visitors to a new place, where your domain name is supposed to be located now. This is convenience for people who have free websites or several domain names. If you need to cover more about web hosting go to Web Marketing
