# 2. Hosting 

This area will be for *all* of it when referencing a space on a browser or network. For visionary insights,  look into [this IEEE article ](https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-fathers-of-the-internet-revolution-urge-todays-pioneers-to-reinvent-the-web)on the future of web. 


####  The Order of ownerships of the Host

1. Domains 

In order for a  website or application on a browser to exist in space it must be hosted. Therefore, this lies in a **domain**.
- Wordpress
- [Github Pages ](obsidian://open?vault=Coding%20Tips&file=Computers%2FBrowser%2FHosting%2FGithub%20Pages)
- [Dreamhost](obsidian://open?vault=Coding%20Tips&file=Computers%2FBrowser%2FHosting%2FDreamhost)

2. Cloud Storage 

When there is a lot of data being hosted, it may need to be hosted through **cloud storage**. 
- Google Cloud Platform
- AWS 
- Azure

3. Containers 

In order for the data in applications in storage to keep continuously running, often these clouds can be kept alive in a **container**. 
- Docker
- Digital Ocean
	- Digital  Ocean [marketplace](https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/appwrite)
	- [Appwrite](https://appwrite.io/) -  a backend for web servers and mobile apps
		- can be instantiated within Digital Ocean

4. NAS (Network Attached Storage)

This takes all  the abstraction of the above out by offloading all data onto a singular physical system to manage the network,  your NAS.   

- From  the [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage):
	- **Network-attached storage** (**NAS**) is a file-level (as opposed to [block-level storage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block-level_storage "Block-level storage")) [computer data storage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage "Computer data storage") server connected to a [computer network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network "Computer network") providing data access to a [heterogeneous](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_computing "Heterogeneous computing") group of clients. The term "NAS" can refer to both the technology and systems involved, or a specialized device built for such functionality (as unlike tangentially related technologies such as [local area networks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_area_network "Local area network"), a NAS device is often a singular unit).
- [Synology](https://www.synology.com/en-us) is a popular NAS service
