I'm your co-host, Sean Smith. And with me is my other co-host, Mike Mellah. **\[00:08\]** **Mike:** Good to be back. **\[00:11\]** **Sean:** Yeah. So Mike, why don't you introduce our topic today? **\[00:15\]** **Mike:** Okay, so today it's just me and Sean. And what we've decided we're going to talk about is we're going to to go through a list of some terms that you as a website owner should know that have to do with websites. So there's a list of things that you may encounter when you're discussing you know the build of a website or a redesign or what have you with a developer or a designer they might come up and you should know what they are. So we're going to run through a few of them today and if we don't get through them all it might even be a multi-part episode, right? **\[00:48\]** **Sean:** Well, I actually think it'll be a two-parter because we've got too many, but we're going to start off with what we think are the more important terms. Right. The ones that will, you will commonly run into when you're working on your own website or when you're talking to your web developer. So the first and probably most important term is host, web space, and bandwidth. What can you tell me what our host is, what's different between a host and a web space and what is bandwidth? **\[01:23\]** **Mike:** Yeah, these are all, we put them all together because they're sort of related, I suppose. This is one of the first things you need to establish when you're building a new website, especially. So a host, I guess you can, the way I often describe that to my clients is is the hosting is the place where your website lives. So when you create a website, it needs to exist somewhere on a computer or a series of computers. And you usually call it the server. Yeah, exactly. And so typically what you do is you'd pay a service provider a host, it's almost like a rental fee that you pay either monthly or yearly. You can get it for vastly different prices, but a lot of my clients get sort of the basic packages which are somewhere between, I don't know, $100 and $500 a year or so. But what you're doing is you're paying almost rental space, you're paying for rental space for your website to exist somewhere. So I sometimes give the analogy of, if you're gonna build a house, first you have to have property where you're gonna put the house on. So you can almost think of hosting as that kind of thing. **\[02:40\]** **Sean:** Right. Probably the host that most people are familiar with due to their extensive TV advertising is co-dadding. Right. Yeah, this is a host that no professional web developer or web agency would ever recommend. Yeah, that in my experience, that's true. Most professionals won't recommend shared hosting, which is the cheapest version. But some do, and it might be right for some clients. But in the world of hosting, you get what you pay for. **\[03:15\]** **Mike:** That's true. **\[03:15\]** **Sean:** And so when you're racing to the bottom, you're gonna get bottom. And the problem with these kinds of things was addressed in an earlier episode this season where I had Nevin Lynn on. And if you didn't listen to that, or can't remember, please refer back to it. **\[03:34\]** **Mike:** add a link into the show notes. And since you brought it up there, we should talk about the different levels of hosting that are available. You mentioned shared hosting and there's VPS and private server and so on. So why don't we talk about that a little bit? **\[03:52\]** **Sean:** Okay, so yeah, the different types of hosting, shared hosting, which we just talked about, like GoDaddy or HostGator, things like that, VPS, which is you're still sharing a server, but your site is kind of sandboxed off from the others so you're not sharing the resources. You have resources allocated to you that are not available to other people on the same server. And a dedicated server is, well, you own the whole server, whatever you want to do with it, **\[04:30\]** **Mike:** that's up to you. Right. And just to expand on the shared one, the reason that that is the bottom tier that you can get is because you're sharing the resources of that server with everyone else who's on it, which could be 100 other websites. So I've had clients before who have had their site taken offline because some other client of the hosts who's sharing that web space got hacked because they were running a poorly made website and you should work the process. You should work the process. Usually we're and it brought down the whole thing and every client on that server is brought down and there's a big upheaval getting it back online. So that can be problematic however I will say that shared hosting very often is just fine. I have a lot of clients that are on shared hosting. So it's really just a question of what you want to, you know, how much you want to invest in it, really. **\[05:26\]** **Sean:** Right. And bandwidth. So bandwidth, it's not really much of an issue anymore. A lot of, in the past, a lot of hosting came with limitations on how much bandwidth you could use in a month, which is basically, it's like your phone's data plan. How much data is available to you? But now almost all hosting is unlimited. **\[05:51\]** **Mike:** It is, although very often with the shared hosting, especially if you really, really are having a lot of traffic, you probably will get a notice from the host saying, hey, maybe **\[06:03\]** **Sean:** you should move up to another package or whatever. That's because your website is likely using too many resources on the server that you're sharing with hundreds of other people. When that happens, it's time to move up to a VPS or possibly a dedicated server where you get more resources. **\[06:20\]** **Mike:** Yeah, it's a question of growth at that point. You can outgrow your host, start slow, start low, get your web dev to recommend something and then when you outgrow it, you can upgrade, it's pretty simple. **\[06:32\]** **Sean:** Exactly. All right, so we've sorted out our host and our web space. The next thing to think about is domain and domain registrar. So the domain is the address that you type into your browser. So like web HTTPS, colon slash slash website 101podcast.com. **\[06:55\]** **Mike:** So that's my domain. **\[06:58\]** **Sean:** And your domain could be your company.ca or your company.couk, whatever. Your domain registrar is where you purchase and renew your domain each year. Yes. GoDaddy is a very popular domain registrar, as are things like name cheap and **\[07:20\]** **Mike:** Rebel is the one that I've used very often. Right. Yeah, to go back to the analogy I used earlier about the house, you know, you need if you're going to build a house, which would be a website, you need property to put it on, which would be the hosting, you could look at your domain as your address for like, you know, if you're going to invite someone over, you got to tell them I live at, you You know, one, two, three mainstream, right? Exactly. So that's your domain. It tells the internet, okay, to get to this website, you type this in and it will send you there. And that's another thing where like hosting people typically rent it. They say you're buying a domain, but you're not really buying it. You're paying it, you're paying for it on a yearly basis or something. And you can't let it expire. If you let it expire, you might lose it. Someone else grabs it. And then that could be it. **\[08:10\]** **Sean:** And domains are also, you can renew for multiple years, but you're limited to a maximum of 10 years at a time. So if you have two years left on your domain and you want to renew it, you can only renew it for eight more. The maximum length that your domain can be available is 10. Oh, is that right? Like total 10 in total. That's something I'm learning from you today. I ran into that issue a few years ago. I was like, ah, I just want to add another 10 years. It wouldn't let me. Interesting. OK. **\[08:42\]** **Mike:** Yeah, and of course, there is the, you know, just because you want awesome website.com doesn't mean you can get it. There's a good chance that if you have a fairly generic domain name that you're trying to get, it's not available. Or it might be available for tens of thousands of dollars if you want to buy a lot. **\[08:59\]** **Sean:** Yeah, this is not the early to mid 2000s anymore. It's like, you know, late 2010s and you're probably going to need to come up with unique spellings, or you can need combination of words to get a .com or something like that, right? Related to domains and domain register, we need to talk about DNS, A record, and MX records, which are things that you edit about your domain at your domain register. **\[09:31\]** **Mike:** You know what, I'm not terribly comfortable talking about this particular topic. Why don't you, why don't you handle this one? **\[09:39\]** **Sean:** All right. Yeah, this can be really scary, especially for movies or people who are really unfamiliar with it, because if you make a mistake, you can really screw up your website and your domains. Okay, so the most common thing that will happen is that your web developer or yourself will need to will ask you to update the A record. So let's say I've finished building a website for you and it's now time to host it on your new hosting. And you can do this but you need to tell the domain register where to what the address of the new site is going to be. So all your servers have an IP address. And that's a series of numbers and dots. So one, two, three, four, five, six, **\[10:32\]** **Mike:** dot nine, nine, dot four. So before before you get a domain, you will already have that address just because you've purchased hosting, right? Well, you can buy the domain without the hosting. The order is unimportant. Right, right. But I mean, that address with the numbers that you just listed **\[10:51\]** **Sean:** it off. Like that. Oh, that the IP address comes with your hosting. So your hosting company will tell you where your server is located. What the IP address is. Yeah. And you can **\[11:02\]** **Mike:** get to your website by typing in that number very often until you get your domain name registered **\[11:10\]** **Sean:** and pointed at that location. Right. So a lot of times you can do your IP address slash Tilda, and then your hosting username. Most times. You need to update the record of where your domain is going to point to. When you buy your domain at your registrar, they often just point it at their own hosting, which is really budget, like GoDaddy hosting or whatever. You typically want to keep your domain and your domain registrar and your hosting separate. And I'll go into that a little bit later. So you go into the DNS records or the zone editor and you look for an A record and you edit the A record to put in the IP address that you have been given for your server. Okay, so A record and then MX records are for mail for email, yeah, for email. So your hosting might have an email or you might be using something like like Outlook or Google Suite for emails, and then you would follow the instructions that they provide where you'll get a series of four or five different MX records that you would copy into your zone. These records then tell the internet where to send hello at yourdomain.com for your email address. **\[12:58\]** **Mike:** So here's a, let me see if I can run through this in a simplified way. Let's say you get a domain, myasight.com, whatever. And you tell it to go to your hosting provider, which you've also bought space on. So when someone visits that site, the internet sort of does its thing and says, oh, you want to go to this address? located over there at that host. And they once they get there, the internet thinks that that's where the whole package is hosted. But maybe you've decided you want your email to be handled by Google, like Gmail, for example, because Google is very good at managing email and whatever. So what you need to do is set up the MX record that says, okay, when someone types in an address with that domain name for an email, it's not going to be handled by the host. It's going to be handled by this other provider, which is Google. So it's sort of someone that relays, oh, no, that's not here. That's over there. And all this kind of thing happens in a fraction of a second, of course. And it's nothing anyone ever has to worry about. But it is something that web developers have to set up sometimes when they're building a new site. **\[14:12\]** **Sean:** Right. So a lot of times I'll ask a client, can you update the A record and they'll respond back, what is that or I don't know how. In which case then I just asked them to give me log in credentials through their domain register and I take care of it. It's part of the service that I offer. But if you're a do it yourself guy, you're gonna need to learn how to do this and Google will help you. It's not as scary as it sounds. You just go in, follow the of the instructions, there's lots of places that have screenshots or step-by-step on how to do it with the most common domain registers like Namecheap or GoDaddy or whoever. **\[15:00\]** **Mike:** Yeah, but having said that, for most of the time when you hire a web developer, they'll probably handle that stuff, right? I would think so, yes. That's what I typically do for my clients, and I guess you do too, most often. **\[15:13\]** **Sean:** Yeah, it's the simple thing. It's like, why would my mechanic ask me to change the oil? **\[15:23\]** **Mike:** Change the brake pads. Yeah. **\[15:25\]** **Sean:** It's like, can you hold this wrench here? Why am I getting an alterity? **\[15:30\]** **Mike:** Exactly. **\[15:31\]** **Sean:** Exactly. Okay, so let's move forward then. Hi, I hope you're enjoying this episode. You know, we'd really love to hear from our listeners about suggestions for topics in the future. If you have any topic suggestions, please let us know. **\[15:49\]** **Mike:** Yeah. And if you have any guest suggestions, we'd also like to know those. Is there anyone you'd like us to have on the show and interview? Is there anyone we've had on the show that you'd like to have back and talk some more? Let us know. You can visit website 101podcast.com slash contact to get in touch with us. Sure. What's the next term? Let's talk about what a CMS is. Okay, yeah, this is a big one, and these days it's pretty much something you're always going to encounter when you're dealing with a new website or whatever. It's very few websites that are built these days without a CMS. So CMS stands for content management system, and the idea is, if you have any experience using a website, when you get a location you can go to on the web, type in a username or an email and a password. And all of a sudden you see all your content there and you can post new blog posts, you can post new articles, you can edit your pages, all that kind of thing. That control panel that you're looking at, that's your CMS. That's your content management system. **\[16:58\]** **Sean:** Right. And so the world's most popular CMS is good old WordPress, of course. There's lots and lots of other ones, other common ones that you've probably heard of are things like Drupal, Jumla, oh my god. And then the CMSs that myself and Mike like the most are things that craft expression engine and stutomic. We like them because of their incredible flexibility. They're not the best ones for do-it-yourselfers. These are kind of CMSs that you really need a professional with a work on. Yeah, and again, you get what you get out of professional level software, just consider Photoshop versus paint. Yes, MS, **\[17:47\]** **Mike:** was it MS paint? Is that what it's called? I think so. Yeah, exactly. This is kind of like it's almost like the hosting thing we mentioned at the top of the show. It's really just a question of you get what you pay for and different platforms, different CMSs have different strengths. So if you if we're press is okay, then use WordPress if you want something more enterprise level, use craft or something, and that's basically the idea with the CMS. Okay, so that's the gist of a CMS, you're probably going to need that and yeah, talk to your web developer about which one is the best for you based on the requirements of your site and that kind of thing. So moving on, let's talk about SSL, which is sort of similar, another term for HTTPS. People might be more familiar with that. Secure terms like that. Want to talk about that, Sean? **\[18:44\]** **Sean:** Actually, I'm just Googling what this SSL stand for. Secure. Okay. Is it? Yeah. Secure sockets layer. But you don't really need to know what the acronym is for. for. SSL is the certificate that you get so that when somebody loads your website, it shows H2TPS and you get the lock symbol in your browser. Basically, this is to ensure things like passwords and other sensitive information is encrypted and not being leaked out in a form that bad people can take and hack your site with. **\[19:25\]** **Mike:** Yeah, and this used to be, just a few years ago, it was something, well, not that long ago, it didn't even exist. It was just people's websites started with HTTP and then colon slash slash my website.com. And then a few years ago, they started saying, well, maybe we should make this secure protocol that allows, you know, whenever you're transferring information through a contact form or something, it's more secure and not likely to be intercepted on the way to the site or whatever. And they started saying, oh, maybe we should do this. And now Google, for example, is like really, they really value sites that are secure over ones that aren't. And it's kind of considered a must have these days, right? **\[20:10\]** **Sean:** Exactly. In the past, the only sites that would have SSL certificates were e-commerce sites because you're sharing your credit card, right? SSL certificates used to be really expensive and somewhat complicated to install and by expensive we're talking about like a couple hundred bucks a year. Yeah, but I think it was two or three years ago. Google put a big push through and now their browsers will show that your site is unsecure, even if it doesn't need to be. Right. And it affects your pay drank. In the last couple years, there's a lot of free SSL certificate generators that most host providers will just give you. Yes. And it'll automatically renew. Some sites like e-commerce will need something that's a little bit more higher level SSL certificate, but for the average person, the free ones that you can get with most hosting providers are more than sufficient. **\[21:13\]** **Mike:** And without getting to technical, what's involved in setting up an SSL certificate, you purchase it sort of in the same way that you purchase a domain and then you have to **\[21:23\]** **Sean:** install it, talk about that. So there were some technical problems with the recording and I had to delete a whole bunch and I'm just going to record this separately. Mike just asked what is the steps to install an SSL. It's actually somewhat technically difficult and complicated. Your hosts will often make this relatively easy by logging in to your hosting C panel and finding this section for SSL. And here you need to generate a CSR, this is called a certificate signing request. You go through this process, fill out information about your company and your business. Once you have the CSR, you order your certificate, and then you upload the certificate to your server, but for the most part, most hosts will be able to take care of this for you, except for filling out the CSR, and your web developer should be able to help you as well. **\[22:38\]** **Mike:** Okay, so another term we want to talk about was accessibility, and you hear this a lot lately Because it's very important for a lot for pretty much every website these days. What's it? What is accessibility? **\[22:51\]** **Sean:** well the Accessibility in a nutshell is making your website As easy to use as possible for all users with varying abilities and that could be hearing issues site issues It could be motor skills like if someone broke their arm like bail to use the mouse find like Like how much how you have to target it. There's a lot of technical stuff that's involved in accessibility in the code Needless to say it's very very important and if you don't do it in some industries You can get fined and there's laws around it. That's right. I would like to refer you back to to season one episode on Accessibility, where I talked about that with Leia and Caltra and Emily Lewis, and I'll include a link to that in the show notes. So the next thing that we can talk about really quickly is a site map and an XML site map, right, what is that? **\[23:56\]** **Mike:** Okay, so I'm gonna suggest that we split this up. I'll talk about site maps from a design standpoint. You talk about XML site maps, okay? Sure, let me start this off. So a site map, because the truth is that term comes up in many different contexts when you're building a site. So for me, I do a lot of design as well as development. And a site map could be a visual representation of what the navigation structure of your site looks like. So one of the earlier phases of development for me would be coming up with the information architecture that's called. So basically what's the main navigation menu, those five or six links at the top of your site, typically or whatever. And then when you go into any one of those areas, what other navigation options do you have in there? Like if you're on a blog, maybe you have options for different categories within the blog of different topics or something like that. So I would end up drawing out a site map, which is a visual representation of what that navigation structure is and what is sort of a sub item of what else? And it ends up looking kind of like a tree which depicts every link that's on your site, not necessarily every link but every type of link. So that would be sort of a design version of a site map, but there's also something called an XML site map. **\[25:21\]** **Sean:** Well, actually what I was thinking about when I was talking about site map is the site map link, which is actually on your website often at the bottom. Okay, and it comes back to, it basically does look like a tree. So it'll have home page services, all these things, and oftentimes it'll be indented to show the depth of it. And these are all clickable and will take you to a different part, various parts of their website. It's helpful for people who maybe can't find what they're looking for in your main navigation and they take a look at it there. A lot of times on a 404 page, which is a page that you view on a website when you go to a page that doesn't exist. A lot of times on your 404 page, you might include a link to the site map or even have a site map there. The XML site map is something that Google, Yahoo, and other search engines use to index your site. And it looks ugly to us, but we don't need to look at it. it. And it is essentially the same thing as your visual site map, but in code and it makes it easy for Google to find all of the important pages. Actually, all of the pages on your website. **\[26:42\]** **Mike:** Right. It's a way to tell computers, basically, Google, what have you. This is how my site is organized and you do so in a code language that they speak. So yeah, it doesn't look good when you You look at it at the code page, but your site map will often include a little bit of **\[27:03\]** **Sean:** information about how often you want the search engines to come back and index it. And that code is on a per page or a per section basis. So if you update your blog weekly, then there would be a little spot in there for Google to know that, hey, this gets updated weekly. If you're updated monthly, the same thing. If daily or yearly, so a lot, some pages like your contact page don't get updated very often. I set that to a year. Blog might be a week, might be daily, might be monthly, depending on how often you update that section. **\[27:43\]** **Mike:** Right. Because if you're always adding new articles or new blogs, posts or whatever, you want to make sure they get indexed by search engines. **\[27:50\]** **Sean:** Exactly. So let's move on to something that is more mics for today that mine, analytics. **\[27:57\]** **Mike:** Right. Okay. So analytics, again, this is another term that you might hear a lot lately. I guess typically I would describe analytics as information that tells you details about who is visiting your website and what they're doing roughly when they get there. you'll find you'll hear the term Google Analytics because Google Analytics is the most popular package these days for tracking website visitors. There's also other options. I remember we used to use one called Web Trends and I'm sure there are still other ones available but Google's Google Analytics is free. Anyone can add it to their site and basically what it does is so often you hear the term Google Analytics because Google is one of the most more popular packages to track visitors on your website these days and it is a free tool that's available. So what it is basically is you sign up for an account, you know, user name, email, that kind of thing. They give you a little block of code and you or your developer will drop that into your website on every page or on something that appears on every page like the footer or something like that. And when someone visits your website, Google Analytics will track, okay, it doesn't obviously He doesn't track specifically who that person is, but it does track how long they might have spent on the site, what page they went to after they visited this page, that kind of thing. And of course, you can go in there and learn, okay, well, how many people visited my site this month and compared the last month and you can do all kinds of comparisons and things like that. So, it's a really valuable tool because, as I'm always telling my clients, a website is a a garden that you have to keep maintaining. You can't just build it and ignore it. And if you really care about how you're not wanting done. Yeah. And if you care about how your website is, if a website is worth building, it's worth monitoring and making sure that it continues to work and actually does things for you, right? **\[29:59\]** **Sean:** Absolutely. Absolutely. And related to that is making sure that your website, and this is our last term for today, usable. We're going to talk about usability. I think that this also refers back to accessibility because accessibility is essentially usability. When you're building your website, you can do things like user testing, which is getting users who are unfamiliar with your website or your organization to perform certain tasks on your site. So, you put them in front of a computer and you say, can you go find the contact page? Can you find my special offer on widgets this week? And then you record them and see how quickly or easily they do it if there's any troubles. And based on the data you receive, you update your website to make it better for users to use. Right. There's nothing worse than a website that is confusing. **\[31:09\]** **Mike:** That's right. And it's kind of this whole, this is a big industry now, usability. There's actual UX designers you can hire, UX is a abbreviated term of usability. Usability experience is even though it should be UE, but if they say it's UX. Anyway, you can hire someone who specializes in just that. They don't even design or build websites necessarily. They just tell you how to improve your usability. And the idea is that enough people are using the internet now because it's been around for so long and it's so ubiquitous that there is almost like a standard protocol for a lot of way, for a lot of interaction points of a website. **\[31:47\]** **Sean:** So there's conventions that people automatically know and expect. **\[31:52\]** **Mike:** Yeah, and and your usability of your website, you know, how usable it is is how relatable it is to those conventions, right? **\[32:02\]** **Sean:** right and The longer the internet is around the more These conventions are going to be important as people get older Introducing a new way to do something is going to be confused or yeah, you need to keep it You want to make your website as easy to use as possible so that people people buy your thing, they call you or whatever it is that you want your visitors to do when they're on your website. **\[32:29\]** **Mike:** Or they don't go to your competitor sites, which is also something that's more and more likely to happen as the Internet grows. **\[32:35\]** **Sean:** Exactly. So, you know, this is our first episode talking about web development jargon or terms that everybody who has a website should know. We're going to do another episode and we'll cover up the rest of them. I hope that this has been really helpful for everybody. **\[32:55\]** **Mike:** Yeah, I think it's a good start.
