1. Domain Name: This is the address of your website, that is www._____________.com. For instance, www.nairaland.com is the domain name of this website. To have a domain name of your choice, you have to buy from people calle REGISTERS. An example of register is GoDaddy (www.godaddy.com) and Smartweb (www.smartweb.com.ng)

2. Domain Extension: This refers the last of your domain name, which in most websites is ".com". There are many extensions you can choose from depending on what the website is about. For example. .com (commercial website), .net (network), .org (organisation website), .edu (educational website), etc. It can also refer to the country where the website was designed or meant to be for. For instance. .ng (Nigerian website), .ca (Canadian website), .uk ( UK website), etc. You can buy domain name with .ng extension from www.smartweb.com.ng.

3. Host: A host is a company that stores your website and its entire content for you so that it can be accessed from anywhere in the world, 24/7. Hosting companies usually have different HOSTING PLANS for different prices, as well as special offers and discounts based on your choice. You may find on the website of any hosting company hosting plan for a year, two years, etc.

4. Content: Content is the what brings people to a website. It refers to text, graphics, videos, audios and/or downloadable content on your website.
