- 1. Web Designing & Internet Marketing Session 5: Hosting What we are gone cover in this session ? Domain Name Free Host Servers & Paid Host Servers
- 2. The DNS is… • The “Domain Name System” – Created in 1983 by Paul Mockapetris. – modified, updated, and enhanced by a myriad • What Internet users use to reference anything by name on the Internet • The mechanism by which Internet software translates names to addresses and vice versa Web Designing & Internet Marketing
- 3. A Quick Digression: Names versus Addresses • An address is how you get to an endpoint – Typically, hierarchical (for scaling): • IIPM, IIPM Tower, M.G. Road Cochin, 36 • 204.152.187.11, +1-650-381-6003 • A “name” is how an endpoint is referenced – Typically, no structurally significant hierarchy • “David”, “Tokyo”, “IIPM” • DNS as a Lookup Mechanism – Users generally prefer names to numbers – Computers prefer numbers to names – DNS provides the mapping between the two • I have “x”, give me “y” Web Designing & Internet Marketing
- 4. The Name Space • The name space is the structure of the DNS database – An inverted tree with the root node at the top • Each node has a label – The root node has a null label, written as “” The root node "" top-level node top-level node top-level node second-level node second-level node second-level node second-level node second-level node third-level node third-level node third-level node Web Designing & Internet Marketing
- 5. Domain Names • A domain name is the sequence of labels from a node to the root, separated by dots (“.”s), read left to right – The name space has a maximum depth of 127 levels – Domain names are limited to 255 characters in length • A node’s domain name identifies its position in the name space Web Designing & Internet Marketing
- 6. Subdomains • One domain is a subdomain of another if its apex node is a descendant of the other’s apex node • More simply, one domain is a subdomain of another if its domain name ends in the other’s domain name – So en.wikipedia.org is a subdomain of • wikipedia.org • org – wikipedia.org is a subdomain of org Web Designing & Internet Marketing
- 7. Domain name space Levels: • Top-level domains • Second-level and lower level domains Web Designing & Internet Marketing
- 8. Top-level domains • The highest level of domain names of the Internet. • They form the DNS root zone of the hierarchical Domain Name System. Every domain name ends in a top-level or first-level domain label. • When the Domain Name System was created in the 1980s, the domain name space was divided into two main groups of domains. – The country code top-level domains (ccTLD) were primarily based on the two-character territory codes of ISO-3166 country abbreviations. – In addition, a group of seven generic top-level domains (gTLD) was implemented which represented a set of categories of names and multi-organizations. – These were the domains GOV, EDU, COM, MIL, ORG, NET, and INT. • The Big 3: .com, .net and .org – Although there has recently been some discussion about possible moves to restrict the .org top domain to non-profits, as was originally intended – The current situation is that all 3 of these domain name extensions are accessible to anyone, without restrictions, and are widely recognized around the world.

- 9. Second-level and lower level domains • Below the top-level domains in the domain name hierarchy are the second-level domain (SLD) names. • These are the names directly to the left of .com, .net, and the other top-level domains. As an example, in the domain en.wikipedia.org, wikipedia is the second-level domain. • Next are third-level domains, which are written immediately to the left of a second- level domain. • There can be fourth- and fifth-level domains, and so on, with virtually no limitation. • An example of an operational domain name with four levels of domain labels is www.wdnim.bba.iipm.com The www preceding the domains is the host name of the World-Wide Web server. Each label is separated by a full stop (dot). • ‘wdnim' is said to be a sub-domain of 'bba.iipm.com', and 'bba' a sub-domain of 'iipm.com', etc. • Second-level (or lower-level, depending on the established parent hierarchy) domain names are often created based on the name of a company (e.g., microsoft.com), product or service (e.g., gmail.com).

- 11. Registries, Registrars, and Registrants • The Domain Wars resulted in a codification of roles in the operation of a domain name space • Registry – the name space’s database – the organization which has edit control of that database • Including dispute resolution, policy control, etc. – The organization which runs the authoritative name servers for that name space • Registrar – the agent which submits change requests to the registry on behalf of the registrant • Registrant – The entity which makes use of the domain name Web Designing & Internet Marketing

- 14. Hosting • A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via 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. • Free Host Servers • Paid Host Servers Web Designing & Internet Marketing
- 15. Service scope • The scope of hosting services varies widely. • The most basic is web page and small-scale file hosting, where files can be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a Web interface. • Many Internet service providers (ISPs) offer this service free to their subscribers. People can also obtain Web page hosting from other, alternative service providers. • Personal web site hosting is typically free, advertisement-sponsored, or cheap. • Business web site hosting often has a higher expense. • Single page hosting is generally sufficient only for personal web pages. • A complex site calls for a more comprehensive package that provides database support and application development platforms (e.g.PHP, Java, Ruby on Rails, ColdFusion, and ASP.NET). • These facilities allow the customers to write or install scripts for applications like forums and content management. • For e-commerce, SSL is also highly recommended. • The host may also provide an interface or control panel for managing the Web server and installing scripts as well as other services like e-mail. • Some hosts specialize in certain software or services (e.g. e-commerce). • They are commonly used by larger companies to outsource network infrastructure to a hosting company.

- 16. Types of Hosting • Free Web space with most things in life, you get what you pay for!!! – for example, a small amount of disk space, no server-side scripting, tiny transfer allowance, and no guaranteed uptime and advertisement on your web pages • Shared hosting cheapest form of paid hosting , Your site sits on a single Web server with sometimes hundreds of other sites. – quite a load on the server, resulting in a slow site at peak times, – and you don't have much control over the server should you need to install and customize complex Web applications. • Virtual private server sits between shared hosting and dedicated servers in terms of power and price, – you can install any software you like on it – you're responsible for managing the server yourself - installing security updates, fixing problems, and so on - which requires some degree of server administration skills – Option for managed virtual servers • Dedicated server you have access to the entire power of the physical machine – ideal if you're running a high-traffic site – you're responsible for keeping the machine up to date with security patches, as well as installing software and troubleshooting • Managed server you rent an entire server to yourself, but the hosting company looks after it. – You don't have to worry about stuff like installing upgrades and security patches, or troubleshooting – Managed servers are generally pricier than plain dedicated servers • Colocated server – your own Web server in the hosting company's server room – cheaper than hiring a dedicated server as you're not paying for the server itself, just the network usage and server room space – any upgrades or maintenance will have to be done yourself.

- 17. How to choose Commercial Web Hosting Service? – Reliability and speed of access Provide uptime of 99% – Data Transfer (Traffic/Bandwidth) unlimited, ... Ex: just one page of 50kb, 2000 page views consumes 100mb – Disk space ask? 10MB, 20MB, unlimited – Technical support is it 24x7,check is it really technical – Scripting & database FTP, PHP, Perl, SSI, .htaccess, telnet, SSH, MySQL, crontabs (Note that some commercial hosts do not allow you to install PHP or Perl scripts ) – SSL (secure server), Shopping Cart – Email, Autoresponders, POP3, Mail Forwarding, sales@yourdomain.com, Spam free, virus free email solutions – Control Panel add, delete, and manage your email addresses, and change passwords for your account – Multiple Domain Hosting and Sub domains For those who are thinking of selling web space or having multiple domains or sub domains hosted in your account – Server Is the type of operating system and server important? Ex: ASP programs, you have no choice but to look for a Windows server. – Price& Payment plans – Resellers? Not all hosting companies own or lease their own web servers. Some of them are actually resellers for some other hosting company. – International option of hosting your site with some local provider. – Statistics Many Web hosting providers throw in free site statistics as part of their hosting packages, ..count views.etc – Backup & Monitoring Web Designing & Internet Marketing
