THIS WEEK'S JOB // Learn what web hosting is and how a folder on your computer becomes a site the world can visit. (Book pages 221-221 in Mrs. Gaiser's book.)
THE THREE IDEAS
A host is a landlord
Hosting companies rent you space on a server that never sleeps. Upload your folder, and your files get a public address.
Domains are street signs
A domain name points at your rented space. Names cost money yearly; subdomains and free hosts are the training wheels version.
Free places to start
Free builders and free static hosts both exist. Free means limits, but limits are fine for a first shop.
ON YOUR LOT
With a parent, look at one free hosting option from class and read what it gives you and what it charges for. No sign-ups without a parent in the room.
