What Is Hosting?
Hosting, in its full Turkish equivalent, is a word meaning “to host” or “to accommodate.” As its meaning implies, hosting refers to
storing data somewhere.
When you want to set up your own website, you first need to own a domain (domain name), and to build a website on that domain name, you also need to have a hosting service. The two basic things you need to publish your workplace,
company, or personal interests and hobbies on the internet are a domain and a hosting service.
Hosting service is provided through computers with high internet speeds. However, these computers are industrial machines with high processing power and resources.
These computers, called servers, are produced to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — unlike the ones we use at home. Servers are produced with the capacity to run for
months or even years without shutting down or malfunctioning. Thanks to these powerful servers, hosting service is provided with a high uptime rate, and websites are accessible virtually 24⁄7.
To briefly describe hosting service: the service that stores the data
belonging to your website, keeps it accessible to your visitors at all times, and broadcasts at high speed through servers is called web hosting.
Web hosting is offered in two forms based on the infrastructure installed on the servers:
Windows Hosting and Linux Hosting. While software that runs on Windows-based servers operates on Windows hosting, software that runs on Unix systems operates on Linux hosting. Our company provides hosting services only as Linux
hosting with a cPanel infrastructure.

What Is a Domain (Domain
Name)?
Domain is the name that allows easy access to your website through a browser. If domain names didn’t exist, we would need to memorize IP addresses to access websites on the internet. For example, to access our company’s site, you would
need to remember the IP address 159.253.40.22. There are many complex IP addresses like this and similar ones in the world. Since memorizing these complex numbers would be difficult, and to make things more understandable, domains were invented. This is why you can
access our company’s site by typing netinternet.com.tr instead of the IP address.
There are many domain name extensions used globally around the world. The most well-known and widely used of these domain names are the com, net, and
org extensions. The .com extension, first used on March 15, 1985, with the registration of symbolics.com, is currently the most widely used extension in the world.
In addition to original domain extensions like Com, Net, and Org, each
country also has its own domain extension. Our country’s domain name extension is .tr. Domains with extensions such as com.tr, net.tr, and org.tr are domains belonging to our country. Our company does not sell .tr extension domains. The control of TR
extension domains belongs to NIC.TR, a company based at METU.
