In this article has already mentioned terms as hosting and domain, let’s figure out what they are for and whether you can do without them.

What is needed to show it to other people?

Hosting or more strictly web hosting is a service that allows you to post a website or web page onto the Internet. A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website to be viewed on the Internet. 

But in order to find your website on the Internet, you need the unique address of your website location, i.e. Domain name. Domain name is the name of the website, the unique name that you have given to your website. For example, our domain is webto.pro. 

It is important to note that both domain and hosting are rented. Domain name rented for at least a year. 

Technical support required

So we have discussed a number of important elements on a website. Every website always requires attention to technical support, software updates and setting up internal processes.  A static website, which cannot be edited in a management panel – it is difficult to promote it and every small change requires time and effort.  So, in addition to website building, you always need technical support for its maintenance. We at WebToPRO do not “abandon” our customers halfway and maintain websites 24 / 7.

We do our work with high quality and at good prices.
