Are You One Of The Business Owners That Confuses The Roles Of A Web Host, An ISP And Domain Registrar?

There are those business owners who do not understand the separate roles played by a web host, ISP and domain registrar. This is hardly surprising when you consider the fact that many newbies or newcomers to the web business quite often choose to leave the responsibility of getting all three very different tasks undertaken on their behalf by one person. The result is that they have no experience to fall back on that separates the 3 vital requirements for any sort of web presence.

This may work out quite well when launching a web site for the first time. However there are many complications that set in as the Internet business enterprise grows older. For instance, about a year later, their domain registration suddenly expires and the webmaster does not recall who did his domain registration for them, let alone having the faintest clue as to who their domain registrar is. And yet they would at that point urgently need the name and contact of their domain name registrar to pay their domain registration annual fees to restore their web sites. This is but one example of numerous possible problems that are likely to confront a site owner who plunges into the online world without a clear understanding of who a domain registrar, ISP and web host are and what their specific tasks are.

There are some web hosting services that offer complete packages to clients where they manage everything for them including maintaining their domain names on their behalf. However even in these sort of arrangements it is important.for every site owner and Webmaster to understand clearly in their minds the roles played by these three different key functions. After all they may wish to change hosts. Or they may need to make a critical decision that has to do with their website ad which would be impossible to make without this basic knowledge.

For the record, a web host, as the name suggests, hosts your site in cyber space, an ISP (Internet Service Provider) provides the link to access your site and the domain registrar provides you with a specific address in cyber space where your site can be reached or accessed.
