What is the internet

- and how do I get on it?

You built "local"

webpages

Just 2 things missing

A server is just a different name for a computer that is always online

You can rent hosting:

Sweden: binero.se

...and a thousand others

Bonus: (Free!) Github and Dropbox

The domain name:

hyperisland.com

andersaberg.com

listentothe.cloud

Common "TLD's"

.com

.se

.org

Cool ".TLD's"

.cool

.diamonds

.sexy

.pizza

.space

.cloud

.one

.app

.beer

.book

.sucks

.free

You can rent domain names:

binero.se

domains.google.com

namecheap.com

$10 / year

The domain name points to your server

andersaberg.com -> "123.456.789.123"

listentothe.cloud -> "99.99.11.11"

Let's recap

1. You build a website locally
2. You rent hosting (can be free!)
3. Optional: You rent a domain name
4. You upload your files to the server
5. You point your domain name to the server.
6. Profit!
