What's popping pals. Today we're going to be looking at the difference between a Domain and a Website. Normally, people differentiate between a Domain and Hosting but recently someone asked me whether a domain is a website. So here is what I've got to say about this.

 Using many reference from the internet, I've come up with this tip. 
First, when the word Domain comes to mind, what do you think of? You can think of a Domain as an area of territory owned or controlled by a particular ruler or government. ( I don't think that was the answer you were actually looking for but is very similar).

 Every website is identified by a unique series of numbers called an IP address. This numeric set is what your computer uses to connect to the server where the website data lives.

 For someone to access your website they need to type in your domain name. Computers communicate using something called an IP address, which looks something like this: 127.0.0.1. If you type in the IP address that’s associated with your domain name you’ll end up seeing the same exact result as what you would see if you typed in your domain name.

It’s highly unlikely anyone will remember a random string of numbers, (imagine if an alternative name for your dad is 192.168.0.1, which would be easier to remember, Dad or 192.168.0.1?) so your domain serves as a more user-friendly version of your IP address. Your domain acts as an easy to remember way for your visitors to access your website. Take for example CPDemy.com.

There are two parts of your domain name: the TLD and the actual domain name. The TLD is the part of the domain name that follows the bulk of your domain.

For the domain name cpdemy.com, .com is the TLD(Top Level Domain). When choosing your domain you’ll notice there are a number of top-level domains available. They all have different connotations, so make sure you choose wisely. 

 Now for better understanding just think a domain as a distinct subset of the Internet with addresses sharing a common suffix or under the control of a particular organization or individual

On the other hand, What Is a Website?
A website is a collection of web pages on the world wide web (what you know as the Internet), that lives on a certain domain name.

Your website is actually more like a living entity. It’s based upon the relationship between your site files, your web host, and your domain name. If any one of these three aren’t working, your website won’t display.

The bulk of your website will be comprised of web pages, which are documents written in a variety of web languages, usually HTML, CSS, and some form of JavaScript. These act as instructions for the web browser for how your website will actually display.


How They Work Together
As you can see from above, your website and your domain and intricately tied. You need both, along with a web host(You can think of the web host as the Government that is in control of your domain), for anything to be available to your visitors.

Your domain name points to your web server where all of your files are hosted and those files are generated when a user types in your domain name to display your website. 
Conclusion
From the explanation above, I hope you've got a clearer understanding of the difference between a domain and a website and how they function together.

 If you need a website or a blog, you can contact me, if you want to do it by yourself, that great, Hostgator is a great place to start.

 Any other question, let me know and I'll do my best to clarify you. If you have a better answer, would love to see it in the comment and make an update to this post. 

 Thanks, Don't forget to share

WordPress is a Content Management System that Powers more than 30% Websites, and the best part is that it's Free, you only need to pay for your Domain and Hosting. 

At times, Websites running WordPress can slow down for any number of reasons. It could be anything from bloated code, a rogue plugin or poor hosting performance. Figuring out what’s slowing you down is hard enough. Harder still is that some methods for increasing speed (caching plugins, for instance) are full of cryptic settings.


It can all add up to something of a nightmare in diagnosing and fixing what would seem to be a simple problem.

Tips for Increasing Speed
WordPress, by itself, is not a slow platform. But adding components like themes and plugins can weigh it down. Combined with database clutter and potential hosting issues, a site can really slow to a crawl.

Here are a few things to take into account when you’re looking to increase speed:

Avoid Heavy Themes
Just because a theme calls itself “minimal” doesn’t mean that it’s lightweight. A theme may sport a minimalist look but still load a ton of scripts that will slow you down.

If you’re using a third-party theme, check the documentation to see how to disable scripts you don’t plan to use. Otherwise, use a lightweight starter theme and build for what you need.

Use only Needed Plugins?
Each plugin you install and activate can add scripts, styles and database entries. Before you install a plugin, do some research to see if it’s known to cause any issues with load times. Ask yourself if it’s really a necessity for the success and security of your site. If not, you may want to move on for the time being.


Use A CDN
CDNs or Content Delivery Networks help deliver static files of your website faster to your visitors from a server location much closer to them than your site’s servers. This makes a website that normally fast seems even faster. A CDN ensures that your visitor hits the cache rather than reach your servers. And accessing the cache as opposed to requesting site data from servers is much faster.

Almost all high traffic websites now use a CDN for their static content. CDNs like MaxCDN have solid state drives strategically located all over the globe to provide the ideal global content delivery service to websites with a wide demographic reach, as you can see from the image below.

Watch for Missing Content

Whether local or remote, look out for any scripts or stylesheets that fail to load. A missing file can cause your site to react incredibly slowly, along with possible display and functionality consequences. Use a tool like Pingdom or GTmetrix to analyze your site. Both tools offer a “waterfall” view that shows how long it takes for each file to load along with your page. If one of these files generates a 404 error, you’ve found the culprit.

Take Note of Hosting Limitations
Not all web hosts are created equal. Some just flat-out provide a better product. But you should also be aware of some hosting-related issues that can cause a slowdown. Being on an overcrowded server, running a non-supported (old) version of PHP or having too much traffic on a shared hosting account can all cause problems. And most importantly avoid all these mom and pops hosting promising to offer you best service. Try check out their reviews to see if they're worth your money.


Optimize Images
Using Very high size images can cause your website to run very slow, image have about 1MB Pictures of about 5 to 10 on a single page, of course the website has to load all of them and hence may do this very slow especially if you have a low bandwidth and there are many people accessing your website at the same time. Optimizing Images becomes very essential.

You can use a Software like Photoshop to resize your images or you can also use sites like postimg.cc to upload your image and then link it to your site, this can aid to increase the speed of your Website.

You can also use EWWW Image Optimizer to Optimize your images with lossless compression; you can reduce image sizes without much loss of quality. 

Alternatively, you can use Compress JPEG & PNG Images plugin for the same. They promise a compression in size by about 40% – 60% for JPEG images and 50% – 80% for PNG images, without a visible and obvious loss in quality.



Disable Hotlinking
Hotlinking is a means by which people use the content that is a host on your site’s servers for their own websites. So basically they use your servers with your content on their site. And as a result, your server gets loaded with no benefit to you whatsoever.

How do you stop someone from stealing your server resources?
To prevent people from hotlinking stuff from your site’s content. Some tinkering with your site’s code is required. You can use this tool from htaccesstools.com to generate the necessary code which you can add to your server. Normally, your host will also be willing to help you with this.

And once you prevent hotlinking, you can be certain that your server resources are not spent hosting content for a website other than your own. Hotlinking tactics generally target images and other multimedia which are data heavy, so if you run a site with minimal imagery, disabling hotlinking will not have any effect on your site’s performance.

Disable Pingbacks and Trackbacks
Trackbacks and pingbacks are used to let you know that someone else has put a link of your post on another blog or site. Trackbacks are manual and pingbacks are automatic, they both end up in your comment moderation. 99% of all trackbacks and pingbacks are spam. And if you start getting too much of it, your site speed can potentially be affected.

Go to Settings > Discussions, under Default Article settings disable the pingbacks and trackbacks.

Or we can use a plugin that can deal with spam, like WP SpamShield Anti-Spam. And that’ll be the end of spam in any form.
