Is uploading your site on the server and domain registration are same thing ?

Answer 1

thank you Vlad Serbu for sharing such information with me....

Answer 2

Nope

Answer 3

Vlad Serbu can't I make my pc or computer to work like a server only for my website, if yes then why do we pay for uploading website to the server?

Answer 4

Servers (and all computers) have a public IP address that looks something like: a.b.c.d, where a, b, c and d are numbers in the 0-255 range. You can host a website on your PC (or even on your phone), and you can access the site using http://a.b.c.d/.

The way you can access Google using google.com is that Google owns the "google.com" domain and tells DNS providers to reroute google.com traffic to their own server addresses. All web traffic that leaves your house goes through a DNS server.

If you want to buy a domain you have to pay some money to the proper authorities. I only know how to do this for ".ro" domains (rotld.ro), but a quick search should reveal how to buy ".com", ".net", ".co.uk" or any other domains you want.

Answer 5

Gaurav Zaiswal You can use your PC as a server. You pay for hosting because professional servers have higher bandwidth (are able to support more visitors simultaneously), are guaranteed to stay online 24/7, they run Linux (setting up a server on Windows is a pain, and maybe you need Windows on your PC), have static IPs etc.

Answer 6

If I'm getting your question right, no it is not the same. You upload your files on the server. You don't upload files on domain registration. Domain is the path to the server that shows the files.
