Aweb hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers located in their data center, called colocation, also known as Housing in Latin America or France.

MODULE 4
Registering your domain name
R egistering a domain name gets you an official address for your web site on the World Wide Web. With this ‘official’ address, the rest of the web can find you. Like your home address is unique in the real world, there also can’t be any duplicate addresses on the Internet, otherwise, no one would know where to go! In other words, domain names are unique addresses on the web.
In this module, students learn how to choose a name for their Web site using special Internet services. Students also figure out how the Web site name will effect web site indexing. In other words, which name to choose to make the site easier to find on the Internet.
MODULE 5
HTML
H ypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and scripting languages such as JavaScript. Web browsers receive HTML documents from a web server or from local storage and render the documents into multimedia web pages. HTML describes the structure of a web page semantically and originally included cues for the appearance of the document.
HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages. With HTML constructs, images and other objects such as interactive forms may be embedded into the rendered page.
