What's the difference between domain registrar and commerical web hosting?
Q. If one selects a web host like, hostmonster, do they also have to use a registrar for a domain?
Asked by Christian101 - Mon Jul 21 14:12:28 2008 - - 2 Answers - 2 Comments

A. A "registrar" is a company that is allowed to issue internet domain names with ICANN. This service is then sold to consumers in the form of an annual registration fee for a particular domain name. See here for more details: Now, it is a common misconception that when you registar a domain name, you "own" that name. In reality when you pay for a domain name, you pay for the rights to use the name and the service the registrar provides to allow you to manage that domain.

A. > What is the difference between webhosting and domain? Web hosting is where you have a computer with disk space, an Internet connection and the software needed to respond to requests for the files the make up webpages. A domain is a way to describe where that computer can be found in a human friendly way. > Is there any way I can buy it by myself, and > not through companies (I have heard about frauds) You can go directly to some domain registration authorities - but they charge a very high price for individual domains. (e.g. 100 instead of 15). So it is a bad idea. > do I need to buy or rent webhosting space Yes.

How do you switch windows firewall from 'standard' to 'domain' settings?
Q. In my Windows Server class I have set up a server with windows 2003 on it. This server has another virtual server that is the domain controller. However the windows firewall is set on 'non-domain' settings. How do I switch it to domain settings so that I can connect my stations to Active Directory?

A. Check your Group Policy settings on your domain controller and ensure that the 2 machines (physical and virtual) are both on the same domain. Good luck!
