Recently, many novices asked: what is a domain name, what is space, why do websites need to buy domain names and space? So Lao Wei felt that it was necessary to popularize the knowledge of domain names and spaces and the relationship between them. Although there were a lot of such knowledge on the Internet, there were still some novices Xiaobai for those who visited my blog.
Let's talk about domain names first. The domain name is the name of your website. After you register the domain name, you can use this name to promote your website in the Jianghu. The domain name and space have set up a website, and the domain name and post office have set up an e-mail box, so the first step of building a foreign trade station is to register the domain name. The cost of registering an international domain name is about 8 USD a year (about 50 yuan in China). If our foreign trade websites generally use the com suffix, we must buy the domain name ourselves, so we have the management and use rights in our own hands.
Relevant concepts to be understood when registering domain names
Domain name registrars are platforms for purchasing domain names. Most of them use the Internet in China, while those abroad can use it namesilo (The advantage is that the price is cheap and free privacy protection is provided.) As long as the domain name is not transferred out, you will always renew it at the registrar.
The domain name management platform is also called the domain name server (nameservers abbreviated as NS) or NS server. The default domain name management platform is the same as the registration platform. If a domain name is registered on namesilo Domain name resolution All are completed on namesilo; If you change the NS server address on the domain name registration platform, such as DNSPOD, you need to go to DNSPOD for domain name resolution. BLUEHOST has special space requirements. When using the second ASSIGN domain name above, BLUEHOST will require the NS server of the domain name to be changed to BLUEHOST before it can pass the verification. That is to say, the resolution settings of the second domain name must be operated on the BLUEHOST platform, but the renewal is also on namesilo. in other words Where the NS server of the domain name is, it will go to do domain name resolution 。
After you confirm the domain name NS server and purchase the website space, you need to do domain name resolution. The main settings include the following:
A records the IP address of the domain name pointing to the website. Usually includes @ domain name and www domain name.
Cname record is also a kind of domain name resolution, especially when using CDN.
MX records are used to resolve mailboxes

The website space is simply the place to put website data, mainly including website text, pictures and databases. Virtual space, VPS, etc. all mean this. The difference is in size, performance, and management mode.
Virtual space is the space for website management background. Most of the settings are provided by the space provider. You only need to bind the domain name, upload program, and install program to use it. It is suitable for beginners to use. The disadvantage is that the public system resources and an IP address are relatively slow, with low degree of freedom, and can not be set freely.
VPS has independent IP, fast speed and high degree of freedom. The disadvantage is that you need to build your own application environment, which can only be used after manual configuration, and the setting process is complex.
In order to popularize VPS knowledge and encourage everyone to build their own VPS space, Weiaisi Blog has organized relevant tutorials on space configuration:
