It is no secret I have longed to start a website dedicated to the queen of passion: Danielle Steel. Indeed, the site has not come to fruition, as the economic circumstances surrounding my life are tenuous at best, but I remain dedicated. Those of you who have heeded my advice and embarked on the heartache and triumph of PASSION'S PROMISE are to be applauded. Read on and then read the 1989 classic, DADDY. I realize I could be suggesting all this on my own website, but great things can't be rushed.
The first and most necessary step to making the website happen is getting hosted. I have decided www.steelladyofletters.com is not catchy enough to make the finicky rounds on Digg and the like. What can I say; I'm a social media junkie. I was playing with www.steelshavings.com. I think it is manly enough to give fan-dom some respectability.
Now, if you can, recall my real estate analogy with respects to having my potential website carried by a reliable host service. At this point, my Shangri-La is still nothing more than a set of blueprints, but with the right host, I can start to lay all the necessary foundations. The right host, my loyal few, is a reputable DNS provider. Don't let the acronym frighten you.
A good DNS provider makes sure people can always find your site, regardless of the ever-shifting IP address naming conventions. Think of them, to use another analogy, as a luxury liner, getting people to your site no matter the conditions at sea. You want a host that has the reach to make sure fans across the world always find www.steelshavings.com, no matter where they're connecting to the Internet from.
Should this DNS thing still escape your comprehension, permit me to dredge up my previous analogy. A DNS provider is something like a fractional-reserve bank for your domain name. Just like a bank lends money not based on the actual amount of cash in the vault, but on the collateral it recall, so too a powerful DNS provider can make sure you site is always found, regardless of whether or not an IP address goes down. So if my IP address is ever changed or deleted, a good host can always deliver fans to my site.

A DNS provider is absolutely necessary if you are, in any way, thinking about starting your own website. You need a DNS provider that can constantly keep your domain name viable and search-able, no matter the ebb and flow of IP naming conventions.
