I began my journey with computers during elementary school, where I wrote my first computer program on an Atari computer in second grade.

For many years, I was involved in multiple IT projects while running my own software and web design company.

Today, I help businesses with websites, software, and online solutions.

💻 What's the Difference Between a Website, Web Hosting, and a Domain Name?

These three terms are often used together, but they're not the same thing.

Website – The pages, photos, and content visitors see.
Web Hosting – The server where your website is stored and kept online.
Domain Name – Your website's address, such as PeterTheProgrammer.com.

A simple way to remember it:

• Website = House
• Web Hosting = Land
• Domain Name = Street Address

You need all three to have a website that people can find and visit online.

💻 PHP is a programming language that powers many websites and web applications. It works behind the scenes, helping websites process forms, manage databases, handle user accounts, and display dynamic content. One of the reasons PHP is so popular is that it powers WordPress, which is used by millions of websites around the world. I've been working with PHP for many years, building websites, custom tools, and business applications. Despite all the new technologies available today, PHP remains one of the most widely used programming languages on the web. Have you ever heard of PHP before?
