domain? server?
When you participate in a website renewal project, you will not only talk about design but also about “domains” and “servers.”
If you are renewing your website for the first time, you may be confused by unfamiliar words and ask “What is a domain?” and “What is a server?”.
This time I will explain this domain and server.
Essential domain server for your website
If I compare it to a house…
If you replace the relationship between the website, domain, and server with architecture, the website corresponds to the building, the domain corresponds to the address, and the server corresponds to the land on which the building is built.
For example, when building a house, it is useless to say that the address has not been decided and the land has not been prepared.
Similarly, when building a website, the project will not proceed if the domain and server are not prepared.
What is a Domain?
Simply put, a domain is the core part of a URL.
For example, in this website (Promapedia), the URL continues like www.ssaits.jp/promapedia/, and this ssaits.jp part is called the domain.
This domain has a domain shop, and by applying for a domain to the domain shop, you can own your own (company) domain.
What is a server?
A server is like a folder that stores website data.
It is also called a web server , but unless you upload data to this server, you cannot publish your website to the general public.
summary
As we have seen above, the server domain is equivalent to the land and address of the website, without which the website cannot be constructed.
These servers and domains must be purchased from a company other than the website production company, but in many cases, the website production company will be able to provide consultation, so it is a good idea to consult with them.
