00:00:05.650 --> 00:00:11.530
in this video you're going to set up your free web hosting so far you made

2
00:00:11.530 --> 00:00:17.230
some really good progress you understood the structure of a website and you built

3
00:00:17.230 --> 00:00:21.580
your very first website but at the moment your website is sitting on your

4
00:00:21.580 --> 00:00:26.649
computer as you are using the file protocol which is used by the browser to

5
00:00:26.649 --> 00:00:33.100
explore files inside your computer what you would like to do you'd like to place

6
00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:39.550
your file in remote server so that people can access it from anywhere in

7
00:00:39.550 --> 00:00:46.359
the world so that's why you need web hosting the result is going to be

8
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:53.350
something like this where people just type a URL and can access your website

9
00:00:53.350 --> 00:01:01.179
from anywhere so in this example Facebook has got a file index.php which

10
00:01:01.179 --> 00:01:09.130
is placed in the root directory of the facebook domain the extension of this

11
00:01:09.130 --> 00:01:17.160
domain is dot-com and we can tell that we are using the root directory because

12
00:01:17.160 --> 00:01:22.000
straight after the fourth slash coming up to the domain we've caused our file

13
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:32.790
index.php now we are using the HTTP protocol instead of the file protocol

14
00:01:32.790 --> 00:01:38.740
HTTP stands for hypertext Transfer Protocol and will allow the browser to

15
00:01:38.740 --> 00:01:45.940
communicate with the server and exchange plain text hyper or hypertext is

16
00:01:45.940 --> 00:01:50.980
referring to the facts that will cause hyperlinks which are referencing other

17
00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:57.970
text inside our texts now the s which you see there stands for secure which is

18
00:01:57.970 --> 00:02:02.860
just adding an extra layer to the Transfer Protocol so that when you are

19
00:02:02.860 --> 00:02:05.620
exchanging data between the browser and the server

20
00:02:05.620 --> 00:02:13.200
it cannot be intercepted by somebody so now before we set up the warehousing

21
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:19.709
we're going to understand the difference between a domain name and web hosting to

22
00:02:19.709 --> 00:02:24.680
do that we're going to use a simple analogy from a simple real-life example

23
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:33.030
so let's say but you'd like to buy a book from a bookstore so first you get

24
00:02:33.030 --> 00:02:38.790
the address of the bookstore and then you try to find the bookstore probably

25
00:02:38.790 --> 00:02:47.540
using a GPS so if you find it you will enter the store and look for your book

26
00:02:47.540 --> 00:02:53.430
now depending on whether the book is available or not you may take the book

27
00:02:53.430 --> 00:03:02.310
home and read it at the end so this simple example can be converted to the

28
00:03:02.310 --> 00:03:11.940
example of a domain or a URL typed by a user to access a website so what's

29
00:03:11.940 --> 00:03:19.560
happening is the URL has got a domain name and a file with the file location

30
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:26.190
on the server when you type this on the browser the browser is going to look for

31
00:03:26.190 --> 00:03:33.030
the domain name first now the domain name is the equivalent of the address of

32
00:03:33.030 --> 00:03:40.889
the book store so every single domain on the internet has got its own address now

33
00:03:40.889 --> 00:03:47.699
if we find the address then we move to the next step which is to check the file

34
00:03:47.699 --> 00:03:52.949
location on the hosting server so you're going to check if this path has got a

35
00:03:52.949 --> 00:04:01.579
file called file dos HTML as an example if we find that file then we're going to

36
00:04:01.579 --> 00:04:07.889
download it on our computer or download a copy of it and displays on our

37
00:04:07.889 --> 00:04:18.060
computer and this is how it works so to summarize a domain is like an

38
00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:25.400
address on the internet web hosting is like a

39
00:04:25.400 --> 00:04:35.030
store or a storage area where you place all your files and you webpages so when

40
00:04:35.030 --> 00:04:43.430
somebody types a URL with your domain and a path to a file then the browser is

41
00:04:43.430 --> 00:04:48.319
going to look for the domain first and then look for the file afterwards in the

42
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:54.710
web hosting now you may buy a domain from one

43
00:04:54.710 --> 00:04:59.569
company and web hosting from another that's absolutely fine all you need to

44
00:04:59.569 --> 00:05:03.710
do is make sure that you point your domain to the web hosting you're gonna

45
00:05:03.710 --> 00:05:07.490
be using by using the name servers and that's something we're gonna come back

46
00:05:07.490 --> 00:05:15.560
to in a bit now just a couple of comments the error that you might find

47
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:22.449
here if the domain is not found is going to be returned by your internet provider

48
00:05:22.449 --> 00:05:28.849
because the internet provider is the one trying to find the domain or the address

49
00:05:28.849 --> 00:05:36.190
for you at this stage if the file is not found then you're gonna get an error

50
00:05:36.190 --> 00:05:42.080
from the hosting server instead alright now you are ready to set up your free

51
00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:46.039
web hosting so to do this you just need to go to the complete web hosting

52
00:05:46.039 --> 00:05:52.729
website register and then log in so I'm already research so I'm gonna log in

53
00:05:52.729 --> 00:06:05.469
using Facebook and then you just need to go to services order new services and

54
00:06:05.469 --> 00:06:09.939
here I'm gonna go for the Platinum package

55
00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:18.139
alright so now is gonna ask you to choose a domain so at this stage we

56
00:06:18.139 --> 00:06:24.159
chose a web hosting package which will help us upload files to a server and

57
00:06:24.159 --> 00:06:31.130
also manage different things like databases emails and so on now the

58
00:06:31.130 --> 00:06:36.409
domain again is going to refer to our address on the

59
00:06:36.409 --> 00:06:42.680
Internet you can either really set a new domain if you don't have one which will

60
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:49.639
make you look really professional when sharing projects or work with clients or

61
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.530
potential employers if you've got a domain already lets you bots with

62
00:06:54.530 --> 00:07:01.250
another company you can transfer the domain right if you don't want to

63
00:07:01.250 --> 00:07:06.800
transfer it you can just point the domain to the complete web hosting named

64
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:13.159
service and we're gonna come back to your name servers in a bit now if you

65
00:07:13.159 --> 00:07:18.110
don't want to use any of those options you can just use a free subdomain from

66
00:07:18.110 --> 00:07:21.349
this website now you will need to find a subdomain

67
00:07:21.349 --> 00:07:29.090
which is available so I'm gonna try code votes off your code code at UK so let's

68
00:07:29.090 --> 00:07:35.440
