How-To: 4 Things You Need To Start A Website

These are the main things you need to start a website:

1. Domain Name - A name or domain name is your website url (address). This is how people can easily find and even remember you. For example, aesyonline.site is a domain name. A good domain name is normally short and easy to remember. For example google.com.  

Do you need a domain name? Find your domain name here!

2. Hosting - Hosting or storage is where your materials for example images, creatives, videos, text, and more are stored on the net. This makes your website and materials are accessible 24/7. There are a few types of hosting as well as software to manage hosting services, for example the cPanel.

3. Design - Every website has a design. You can use a website builder to do it using templates, or you can write your own codes. For example THIS is built using Website Builder. WordPress (CMS) is another powerful website builder that gives you flexibility to custom and manage you website.

4. Content - Or pages on your website. They are very important that when someone visits your website, they can quickly understand who you are, what you do, or what you offer. Content can as well describe what your website has and shows from time to time, for example posts (blog) on your website.

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is the standard technology to keep an internet connection secure, safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, can be server to server or a server and a client, preventing criminals from reading and modifying any information transferred. SSL uses encryption algorithms to scramble data in transit, makes sure that any data transferred between users and sites, or between two systems remain impossible to read, preventing hackers from reading it as it is sent over the connection. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is an updated, more secure, version of SSL. Not only is TLS more secure and performant, most modern web browsers no longer support SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0. While SSL is still the dominant term on the Internet, most people really mean TLS when they say SSL. HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL certificate. The details of the certificate, including the issuing aut...

PHP is a widely-used, open-source scripting language especially suited for web development. Here's a breakdown of key aspects: 1.

This distinguishes it from client-side languages like JavaScript, which run in the browser. Embedding in HTML: PHP code can be directly embedded within HTML, making it easy to create dynamic web pages. Dynamic Content: PHP allows you to generate content that changes based on user input, database information, or other factors.

How-To: Google Authenticator: Guide to Setup, Backup, and Safe Usage

What is Google Authenticator? Google Authenticator is a free security app from Google that provides two-factor authentication (2FA) codes. Instead of just entering a password, you’ll also need to input a time-based code from the app. This extra step greatly reduces the risk of your account being hacked, even if someone knows your password. Unlike SMS codes, which can be intercepted, Google Authenticator works offline and generates unique codes every 30 seconds directly on your device. Why Use Google Authenticator? Stronger security: Protects against password leaks or phishing. Offline usage: Works without mobile data or Wi-Fi. Multi-account support: You can store codes for multiple accounts (Google, Facebook, Instagram, banking apps, etc.). Free and lightweight: No subscription fees, minimal storage needed. How to Set Up Google Authenticator Step 1: Install the App Download Google Authenticator from:  Google Play Store (Android) Apple App Store (iOS) Step 2: Enable 2FA on Your Acco...
