Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.s)
What is a Website?
A website is a way to display information on the internet. It’s made up of elements like text, images, links, videos, or buttons. Based on the information those pages contain, they are organized into an information hierarchy– this allows navigation from one page to another.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is a string of text that maps to an alphanumeric IP address, used to access a website from client software. In plain English, a domain name is the text that a user types into a browser window to reach a particular website. For instance, the domain name for Google is ‘google.com’.
What is Web Hosting?
Web hosting is an online service that enables you to publish your website or web application on the internet. When you sign up for a web hosting service, you basically rent some space on a physical server where you can store all the files and data necessary for your website to work properly.
What is a Content Management System (CMS)?
A content management system (CMS) is software that helps users create, manage, and modify content on a website without the need for technical knowledge. In other words, a CMS lets you build a website without needing to write code from scratch (or even know how to code at all).
What is WordPress?
WordPress is a web content management system. It was originally created as a tool to publish blogs but has evolved to support publishing other web content, including more traditional websites, mailing lists and Internet forum, media galleries, membership sites, learning management systems and online stores.
What is a Website Front-end vs Back-end?
The front-end is what your users see and includes visual elements like buttons, checkboxes, graphics, and text messages. It allows your users to interact with your application. The back-end is the data and infrastructure that make your application work. It stores and processes application data for your users and allows you to create and add content.
What is a SaaS?
Software as a service (SaaS) is a software licensing model, which allows access to software on a subscription basis using external servers. SaaS allows each user to access programs via the internet, instead of having to install the software on the user’s computer.
