In addition, there is also what is called cloud hosting, which is hosting that is stored on a server and connected via cloud-based internet. Therefore, the number of servers used can be more than one server so that when a problem occurs, other servers connected to the internet can be a temporary backup until the problem is complete.

Server
A server is a computer system that provides certain services in a single computer network. Its function is to perform software functions that control access to enter the network and the resources contained therein. The server must always be stored in a data center that is supported by complete facilities so that the server machine can work optimally when accessed from all over the world and not easily damaged so that it can last a long time.
Broadly speaking, the server will work when there is a request from the client. The client in question is you when accessing the internet through a browser. The reason is, when you use the internet, you can't help but also access the website, whether it's google.com, bing.com, and so on. After that, the server will send information to your device according to what you are looking for.
Domain
A domain is a name that has been determined and regulated by a domain name management body which in Indonesia is regulated by the Indonesian Internet Domain Name Manager (PANDI). If a website is like a house, then the domain is the home address that contains the "geographic address" of the house which in this context addresses the IP address (IP address).
When you pay for a domain name, you can only rent it every year. You have to ask permission to use the domain you are using. But on Inakri Cloud, you can get a free domain name goodbye. Find out more information from here!
