Building web site today has becoming easy as free online tools have been found on the internet. Anyone can go and use these tools to build his site. Building a site means to create the site web pages. These web pages are often HTML files. Once the overall process is done, the important question is where these files are hosted or located. This question is the basis for the web hosting term.

What meant by the question above is where these files are served. To get more insight let us see what happens when the internet user type an address in the browser requesting a web page. The browser inspects the address and determines the server address (also called web host address). The server is the main computer that stores the web site files. The web server or the web host then sends the needed page that requested by the client back to the browser.

From the above, the reader can see that any web site needs a remote computer which is called a server or the web host that stores the files and pages of the web site. When one of the pages or files stored on the server is requested by remote browser, the server sends it back to the browser. The web Host is like the home computer but has much more power capabilities. When talking about web hosting, we talk about choosing and storing the site files on the server.

When choosing web host available at certain company that offers the web hosting service, many factors must be considered. The two most important factors are the disk space and the bandwidth limit for the chosen web hosting service. The disk space is the maximum amount of hard drive allowed to be used by the user. The site owner must determine the size of his site and then choose a company that offers a space that he needs.

The bandwidth is the maximum size of bits that can be downloaded from the server over a certain period (which is often a month). If the server detects more bits are downloaded during that period, it will not allow any more pages to be seen by the visitor. This is not desired of coerce and the best host providers make this option unlimited. If the limit is reached it will be poor for the visitors and the search engines which will in turn decrease the ranking.

Once the web host is chosen and the web hosting account is setup, the nest step is to take the site pages and files and put it on the web host or the server that is chosen. When one of these files or pages is requested with the server address, they will be downloaded by the server if all is setup properly. The above process is called web site upload. It is the reverse of download.

To upload the web site, a certain protocol is called FTP standing for File Transfer Protocol. This protocol is designed for managing files on a computer from another remote one. It is composed of a series of commands that can be typed on Dos. Many programs are designed to upload the site using FTP instead of Dos. This will make it easier. CoreFtp is an example of FTP uploading programs.

Website content

When it is about web designing, three dominant and essential elements influence the development process of a website that is to be viewed over the Internet by lots of traffic.

These points are as follows;

• Satisfying the customer: Essentially and most importantly, what you need to do is to fully satisfy your customers, as you are the service provider. Nowadays, it seems like most of the companies are lacking behind the customer satisfaction requirements and opting for making money instead. The companies rush from completing one job to another, and in between this process, they fail to miss the most essential steps such as customer satisfaction, which is generally not done by missing the promised deadlines, or making the project go as a failure.

• Customer’s requirements: a proverb saying that ‘the customer is always right’ is lost now. The clients, most of the time comes up with an approximation of what and how they want to get it by following their web portals. Generally, for business, it is about bringing in the revenues or growing the new businesses. What the most of the times do not know is how to accomplish their requirements over their website.

This happens mostly, as most of the entrepreneurs do not have expertise in this field of Internet and web designing. Even the web development and designing companies operate according to the requirements mentioned by their clients. It does require you to have practiced expertise and talent to help your client figure out what they want to achieve over the Internet, and what should be the feel and outlook of their website, while designing the web site. Initially, you need to understand the client’s requirements and needs, and after understanding the goal and the purpose, you need to apply your creativity with terrific designing and web development practice.

• Communication with the Client: This is an extremely influential and necessary facet. In this step, you communicate with the client to figure out what your client actually wants to accomplish by designing and launching a web page. This process can be considerably figured out by communication. This process is helpful in exchange of information and ideas by considering several different means and methods to obtain understanding and figuring out meaningful ideas. The aptitude to do well only comes with practice and skill.

A person can only considered being a talented project manager or a leader in a web design firm, when he applies all his skills and expertise to collect all the required information, because this will be useful to help the client to convey what they actually want to have on their website. All of these skills mentioned above mostly comprise of interpersonal projections, clearing out the clarifications, probing questions, which are helpful in seeking minute details, explaining, and evaluating the process and discussion thoroughly. This should be done, as eventually the client is keen to know that what could be done with the specified budget limit, and how modifications can take place during the website design process, as it also increases the cost of website designing and development.
