Website Marketing: What You Ought Know Prior Starting (Part 1)

Part 1 of 4. Ten years ago, it cost thousands of dollars per year to host a Website. Now, hosting a Website costs just a few dollars per month. Today, businesses of any size can benefit from the growing spectrum of opportunities online.

First things first, however. What is website marketing? Whereas traditional marketing methodologies use media such as newspapers and television, website marketing taps into the unique opportunities afforded by websites, the internet, email and search engines.

According to Wikipedia, here are the definitions of phrases that you need to know about when studying Website marketing:

World Wide Web: A system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a Web browser, one can view Webpages that contain text, images, videos, and multimedia and navigate between them using hyperlinks.

These documents are served up via a web server, a computer program that accepts requests from the user’s browser and sends back the specified document or content. Web servers communicate with browsers via the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

Each web server is reachable via an IP address, a globally unique series of numbers that locates it on the internet. For instance, google.com is located at the address 63.146.123.0. Comparing this to a business with a physical location, if your IP is a difficult-to-remember street address, then the associated domain name is a more memorable business name.

A server can host one or numerous Websites which “are a collection of related Webpages, images, videos or other digital assets that are addressed with a common domain name or IP address.” In fact, it’s very common for hosting companies to have dozens or even hundreds of Websites on a server. This is one reason that the prices in Web hosting have fallen.

The domain name system (DNS) is a network of servers which translates cryptic IP addresses into domain names, thus making them available in a form readable by human and computer alike. In this way, any resource connected to a network can have a globally unique, easily memorable name that helps it to be found much more easily.

In case that all sounds like a lot of “Blah, blah, blah,” when it comes to Website marketing, think of domain names and IP addresses this way? Be sure to check out Parts 1-2 and 4.
