A website that you see on the internet has 3 basic parts.

  1. The Domain Name

A domain name is an address that you buy on the web. This is what users type in a browser to access your website.

  1. The Website Files

These are the files that your website is built with. When a user enters your domain name, your website is displayed to them with the help of these files.

  1. The Hosting Service

Hosting is the service that holds The Website Files and serves it whenever The Domain Name is accessed.

In simple words, your Website is accessed using The Domain Name that you assign to The Website Files served by The Hosting Service.

For your safety it is recommended that you own your domain name yourself and not a third party such as your web designer.

getyourwebsite.co will take care of your Hosting Service and Website while you remain the owner of your Domain Name.

Buying Your Domain Name

Buying you domain is very easy. There are many domain registrars out there with varying prices. Some of them even offer you free domain name for the first year but with expensive renewals the next year.

We recommend you use Namecheap (www.namecheap.com) to buy your domain names as it provides you with the lowest prices (about £4.7 for the first year and £7.53 thereafter for .com) and also gives you free Domain Privacy (With Domain Privacy service your personal credentials will not be visible to the public).
