What is Web Server, Hosting, and Domain?

Domain
Domain is the name of a website address like www.google.com. Domains like this are called Top Level Domain (TLD). Now the free website address that you get from Geocities example is a sub domain. TLD clearly cooler and more professional than the sub domain. Of course, this domain should be purchased.
In this world no one gives a free domain, most eliminate an existing domain to buy a certain service package from the company, such as buying a hosting package. Domain must be paid per year and must be renewed annually.
In contrast to the global domain (. Com,. Net,. Org, etc.), domains with extensions from Indonesia are rarely in demand because it has a double extension such as:. Co.id, etc. web.id.
In addition, local domain Indonesia also has a fairly complicated procedure in the registration process so that it can be understood not as much interest in local domain global domain. In contrast to the global domain. Com and. Net that anyone is allowed to register a domain without a complicated process, whom he was quick to the domain unless clearly point to a company name or the name of prominent figures.

Hosting
After purchasing your domain need to put the "home domain" is to a place called hosting. Hosting is where put the files you want to display on the website. Hosting a set of computers called servers that must be online 24 hours so your website can be accessed 24 hours by visitors.
Many offer free hosting but usually there is always a banner or display ads that disrupt your site. Free hosting of course does not provide all the facilities management to manage the website.

Web Servers
The web server computer or server is a website devoted to put data, except that in this case the server must be online 24 hours, if not then the data can not be accessed by website visitors. All computer logic can be used as a server, but servers have a website that is specific to particular specifications. This is to keep the server speed is stable and meets the criteria that are faced. Besides relying  hardware and software specifications, web server speed Internet access also depends on where the server is located or too dependent on the speed of your Internet Service Provider (ISP) used to get online, and moreover also depend on the path to the location of the country concerned.
Indonesia was the country's internet access has not been encouraging, far short of expectations both in terms of speed and price. In other words, besides the speed of the internet in Indonesia is still slow, the price is expensive.
To solve this problem, many web hosting service providers end up using the web server from the United States. Broadband access in the country covers a wide and affordable. Therefore, maintaining the web server in Indonesia than in the material are also very expensive in terms of accessibility is not worth it. That's why we chose the United States as the location of the web server. Our location was in the ranks of the data center from thousands of leading websites in the world.
Domain Name Server (DNS)
Domain Name Server (DNS) or also often called a Name Server (NS) alone provided the name for the web server to redirect a domain to a server you would like addressed. Usually the naming of this server as follows: ns1.name server.com, ns2.name server.com or dns1.name server.com, dns2.name server.com
By entering into the field name server name server parameters, a control panel of the Domain Name System (DNS), then our domain will be redirected to the server hosting the destination.
Similarly, little information on the terms contained in the world per-hosting-an.
