Hosting & Deployment

An A Record is the DNS entry that tells the internet which server IP a website lives on.

A cloud server is a rented computer on the internet that runs your website or application and can grow when more resources are needed.

A CNAME Record tells DNS: "This name is just another name for that domain."

A dedicated server is like renting an entire building instead of sharing rooms with other tenants.

DNS is the phonebook of the internet. You ask for a website name, and DNS tells your device which IP address to connect to.

A domain is the name of a website, just like a contact name in your phone replaces a long phone number.

An MX record is the DNS instruction that tells the internet which mailbox building should receive your domain's emails.

A nameserver is the source of truth for a domain's DNS records. When someone asks, "Where should I go for website.com?", the nameserver provides the answer.

Shared Hosting is like renting one room in a large building instead of owning the entire building.

SSL puts a locked, private tunnel between your visitor and your website.

A VPS is your own private apartment inside a large building, instead of sharing one room with everyone.
