16. What is a website?
A website, also written as Web site, web site, or
simply site, is a set of related web pages served from a
single web domain. A website is hosted on at least
one web server, accessible via a network such as
the Internet or a private local area network through an
Internet address known as a Uniform resource locator
(URL).

20. Free hosting
Free web hosting can be a good choice when you
just want to build a non-critical website for fun.
Very often in a free hosting environment,
connection speed is slow, website can be down
frequently, and advertising banners is
automatically added to your website. Some
companies require you to purchase your domain
name to receive free hosting services from them,
while others offer you a free subdomain under
them, such as [yourname.webhost.com]. Be
careful as you will not be able to transfer these
free subdomains.

21. Shared hosting
In a shared hosting environment, your and
other website owners shared one server. This
includes sharing the physical server and the
software applications within the server.
Shared hosting services are affordable
because the cost to operate the server is
shared between you and these other
owners. There are, however, a number of
down sides, such as being slower.

22. Dedicated hosting
In a dedicated hosting environment, you have the
entire web server to yourself. This allows for faster
performance, as you have all the server’s resources
entirely, without sharing with other website
owners. However, this also means that you will be
responsible for the cost of server operation entirely.
This is a good choice for websites that requires a lot
of system resources, or need a higher level of
security.

23. Collocated hosting
In this type of hosting, you will purchase your
own server and have it housed at a web host’s
facilities. You will be responsible for the server
itself. An advantage of this type of hosting service
is you have full control of the web server. You can
install any scripts or applications you need.

26. Content Mangement System
A content management system (CMS) is a computer program that
allows publishing, editing and modifying content as well as
maintenance from a central interface. Such systems of content
management provide procedures to manage workflow in
a collaborative environment. These procedures can be manual
steps or an automated cascade. CMSs have been available since
the late 1990s.
