Web hosting and Domain name registar

Web hosting is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website via the access of the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. Web hosting is often provided as part of a general Internet access plan and also there are many free and paid providers offering these services. A customer needs to evaluate the requirements of the application to choose what kind of hosting to use.

A domain name registrar is an organization or commercial entity, authorize by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers or even as well as by the national country code top-level domain authority, to manage the reservation of Internet domain names in accordance with the guidelines of the designated domain name registries and offer such services to the public. Only the designated registrar may modify or delete information about a domain name. The competition that the SRS created enables end users to choose from many registrars offering different services at varying prices. It is not unusual for an end user to switch registrars which invokes a domain transfer process governed by specific domain name transfer policies. A Domain name transfer is the process of changing the designated registrar of a domain name.
