Guide to Web Hosting Services and Plans for Canadians<\/em><\/p>\n

After buying your domain name, find a web host for your Canadian website is usually the second step in creating a website. Whether you’re thinking of taking on the Internet as a successful blogger, a business owner in Canada, looking to establish a web presence for your brick-mortar business, or a new web entrepreneur looking to set up your online business, you’ll need a web hosting service to host that future website of yours.<\/p>\n

Definition of Web Hosting<\/h2>\n

In simplest terms, your web site is simply composed of interactive data files that users from around the world can open up and read. You need a computer on which to store these files so that users can access them. Web hosting supplies that computer. You upload your pages to the computer, also known as a server, and from there anyone anywhere can open your files and see your information, i.e. see your website.<\/p>\n

Registering a Domain Name<\/h2>\n

In order to find your website, Internet users need an address of sorts. When you first establish your own web site you purchase a domain name which is then assigned an IP address by the company that hosts your domain. That IP address is published on something called the Domain Name Servers (DNS), which your web browser searches when you type in a web address. The browser looks up the IP address and then goes to the web site.<\/p>\n
