The title was a bit confusing but the content is interesting. I joined because it's something that you rarely see and is a key to understand how things work. Usually they teach you how to work on something without explaining how the tools work. Kudos!

Free course, gets to the basics without too much depth. Great to get a general overview and then jump into some other courses with more information about the topics. Mainly focused to "non programmers"

A very detailed course, it increased my knowledge of web hosting setup and how to own a website
By Christopher McPherson on 5/16/2023
the content is easily understandable. I love learning new things and this course is explaining the basics of web hosting so that someone like me (no experience) can comprehend the content.

I took a Rob Percival course about a year ago and then got sidetracked. Wanted to build a site, but I'd forgotten lots of the nuts and bolts. This course was a very welcome refresher. Thank you!

Content is fine, but the captions are a nuisance. They should be checked manually to correct the spelling; i.e. When a caption uses the word 'seamers' no one will think that 'CMS" is meant.
By Michael Bartosh on 7/7/2022
The material was presented in a very clear, concise manner. It covered all of the key types of web hosting, the basics for setting up and managing a domain, as well as the techniques for moving domains to other providers.

I was already familiar with most of this material but I did pick up a few items that were nice to know. It is a very thorough explanation of the whole process.
By Kathy MçCord on 7/2/2022
While I already knew most of what the information was up to this point, I was glad to get confirmation of my knowledge. I did not previously understand the different types of hosting and this was spot on with the explanations. I appreciate the clear explanations of each step of the process.
By Steve A Freeburn on 7/1/2022
The info provided is very helpful background information especially for people who have some idea about creating a website but very little person to person knowledge from the teams who do the hosting. Thanks.
