DNS stands for Domain Name System. A domain registrar will provide you with a new domain name and connect it to your IP address. When you put anything on the web it’s the first step in making sure that visitors can find you.
Ever noticed certain web addresses start with “http://” while others might start with “https://”? When you browse sites that require you to provide sensitive information like credit card numbers or other sensitive personal info you might have noticed that extra “s” pop up from time to time. That extra “s” means that you are visiting a site that is secured and encrypted. Any data that you will share with that site will be protected by a technology we call SSL, otherwise known as Secure Sockets Layer.
