A website and its components

By Live With Misra G


When someone ask What is Website? That means someone is interested in owning their interest to host their identity online. A website might sounds like a smaller term but when we dig dipper there are many aspects of it which we must consider while planning to have a website.




Before we go into details, let's first define a website. 


To call it in simple terms; "A website is a collection of web documents (Sometimes called as Web pages). A Web document is what a user see on the screen when they type a web address, click a link, or search for a phrase in search engine".

When we talk about websites, a website could be one of the followings:
1. Personal Websites
2. Photo Sharing Websites
3. Writers / Authors Websites
4. Community Building Websites
5. Mobile Device Websites
6. Blogs
7. Informational Websites
8. Online Business Brochure/Catalogue
9. Directory Websites
10. E-commerce Websites

So now if you are planning to design your own website; you just make sure to have the followings:

a. A Domain Name

b. A Hosting Account

c. Web Documents (Web Pages) of your website


Let's define each of these one-by-one.

a.       Domain Name:  A domain name like www.microsoft.com, is a sequence of letters and or numbers separated by one or more periods ("."). The domain names are used to identify particular web pages.

For Example in the URL http://minabh.blogspot.in/2016/12/facebook-is-rolling-text-statuses-with_21.html, the domain name is minabh.blogspot.in.

Types of Domains

There are four different kinds of domain, we can have for a website

i. TLD -Top Level Domains: There are three different kinds of TLD

  • ccTLD-country code Top Level Domains
  • gTLD-generic Top Level Domains
  • IDN ccTLD-internationalised country code top-level domains

ii. Second level
iii.Third level
iv. Subdomain

If you have decided to host a domain but you are not able to decide your domain name, I recommend to use one of the followings Domain name suggestion tools
● Domainsbot
● NameTumbler
● BustAName

For your knowledge, sometimes few domains costs are listed high because they are reserved as premium domains.

What exactly premium domains are ?

Premium domains are domains that have already been registered by someone else but are now being resold for a premium rate. This means anyone can buy premium domains as they are being sold on the open market.

Few Examples of premium domains include seo.com, digitalmarketing.com, business.com, hostonline.com

There are various advantages of owning a premium domain, which includes the followings:

  • The Impact of the Instant Online Brand
  • More Traffic from Direct Navigation
  • Increased SEO ranking

b.      Hosting Account :

 A web hosting account deals with putting the contents of your website on a Web Server. The hosting server ( or Web Server) could be 

i.  Windows Hosting Servers 
ii.  Linux Hosting Servers


There are various hosting options available. For your reference I am listing few below:

i.  Free Hosting
ii.Shared Hosting
iii.Virtual Dedicated Hosting
iv. Dedicated Hosting
v.   Collocated Hosting

c.       Web Documents (Web Pages):

A webpage is a collection of texts, images, scripts, videos and multimedia files; which is written in one of the web language and hosted on one or multiple servers. 

A webpage is mostly written in HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and layout in CSS.
For your brief knowledge, I am writing few lines about the language of a webpage.

  1. HTML and XHTML are mark-up languages composed of various elements (like html, head, body, various heading and paragraph tags), which contain attributes . These elements are used to mark up the various different types of content in documents (for example headings, paragraphs, tables, bulleted lists etc.)
  2. CSS gives us the control over formatting and layout of our web document.
  3. JavaScript is the scripting language that you use to add behaviour to our web pages.
Now-a-days most of the companies prefers to have a CMS for their website, which provides a user-friendly environment for a non-technical user to update and maintain the content of a live website.


To define in simple terms "A content management system (CMS) is a web-software that supports the creation and modification of digital content using a user-friendly interface."

That's all folks.

XAMPP Server : Port 80 in use by "Unable to open process"

By Live With Misra G
The best solution is to reconfigure the XAMPP Apache server to listen and use different port numbers. Here is how you do it: 1) First, you need to open the Apache “httpd.conf” file and configure it to use/listen on a new port no. To open httpd.conf file, click the “Config” button next to Apache “Start” and “Admin” buttons. In the popup menu that opens, click and open httpd.conf 2) Within the httpd.conf file search for “listen”. You’ll find two rows with something like: #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 80 Change the port no to a port no. of your choice (e.g. port 1234) like below #Listen 12.34.56.78:1234 Listen 1234 3) Next, in the same httpd.conf file look for “ServerName localhost:” Set it to the new port no.

You may find: Listen 443 Change it to listen on...
