I’ve done a few simplest explanation about the hosting and domain. Some people still haven’t really get around with the idea of visiting a domain that point to an IP address that belongs to a computer that online 24/7/365.
So I made a simple illustration on it. Show it to them. Here are some replied I’ve got:
So that is my computer? I don’t turn on my computer for 24 hours.
Ok… Why is there an IP address?
Why don’t you just place my website at your computer?
I have to pay for those? But it looks simple, shouldn’t cost that much right?
Ok, start bang head on wall…
Frankly I don’t really understand your illustration also… hahaha…
Just tell them it’s compulsory, take it or leave it…
