Every website needs two basic components to be online: a domain name and hosting. They are often confused.

A domain name is your site's address (e.g. yourbrand.com). It is rented annually and renewed when it expires. Hosting is the server space where your site's files are stored; it runs continuously so the site stays online 24/7.

Possible situations:

• I have nothing: Both a domain name and hosting need to be arranged.
• I have a domain but no hosting: Only hosting is needed with the existing domain name.
• I have both: We evaluate the current setup and publish the site on it.

Having the domain name registered in your own name is important for keeping control of your brand. Keep track of the renewal date; if it expires, the site becomes inaccessible. To assess your situation together, you can write to destek@gelecekdijital.com.
