SmartThings

The current problem that most devices have is that they function as a standalone being, and it require effort for tech competitors to actually partner with each other and build products that can truly connect with each other. SmartThings is here to make your every device, digital or non-digital, connect together and benefit you.

How to Publish a Web Site on Your Own Domain

1. 
   
2. 1 - Establish the basics. Your website will need two things:
   
   
   
   • A unique domain name. Each domain name is registered with a DNS (Domain Name Server), which identifies a domain name with a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address.
   • Space. Each website must have a web space allocated to it. This is provided by a web server, many of which are maintained by private companies.
3. 2
   Find out if the name you want is available. Many websites (such as domainsbot) will catalogue which domains are available. Or, you can always try typing the domain you want into the URL field of your browser.
   
   
   
4. 3
   Find a website that can show you similar domain names that are available. Searching a taken domain will turn up similar domains that are still open. For example, if you want to register the domain name “domainhostingcompany.com” you'd see that “domainhostingcompany.co” is available but “domainhostingcompany.com” is already registered.
   
   
   
5. 4
   Register your domain. Find a domain name registrar and sign up your domain. (To find a registrar, simply search "domain name registrar.") You'll probably have to pay a start-up fee, as well as a yearly fee to keep the domain registered in your name. Afterward, the registrar will provide you with access to a control panel for your website.
   
   
   
6. 5
   Manage your website. From the control panel, you can check your disk space and monthly bandwidth space. You can also upload and download the contents of the website, as well as updating the files and folders of the website using FTP server address.
   
   
   
7. 6
   Add themes. There are several applications that will apply themes (or designs) to your website.
