 vs

Introduction:

to know the distinction between a 
domain and hosting.

Domain Name: 
 This is the address that users enter into 
their web browser to access your 
website (www.example.com, for 
example).
Distinctive Number: 
 Every domain name is associated with a 
distinct IP address, which is a number 
assigned to internet-connected devices.

Registration: 
 Through domain registrars, domains are 
registered. 
 In order to keep ownership, you must 
renew your registration on a regular 
basis (usually once a year).
Examples:
 domain names are Wikipedia.org, 
Google.com, and Amazon.com.

Hosting:
 Server space is allotted for the files, 
information, and content on your 
website during the hosting process.
  It is analogous to leasing a portion of 
an internet-connected computer.
Online accessibility: 
 When a user enters your domain 
name into a browser, the hosting 
server sends the content of your 
website to their browser, making it 
visible to them.

Types:
  Hosting can be cloud-based (using 
resources from multiple servers), 
dedicated (using an entire server for 
one website), or shared (multiple 
websites on one server).
As an illustration:
 SiteGround, HostGator, and Bluehost 
are a few well-known hosting 
companies.

Connection: 
 Comparable to a Physical Address 
Consider a domain name as your 
residential address, and consider 
hosting as the actual house. 
 While hosting offers the resources 
and space needed to store and 
display your website content, the 
domain points visitors to your 
website.

To have an internet-accessible website:
 Select and buy a domain name to 
register it.
 Obtain Hosting: Choose a hosting 
package from a supplier to hold the 
files for your website.
 Link Domain and Hosting: Set up your 
domain nameserver (DNS) settings to 
point to your hosting server.

Server and Storage Space:
 Hosting is the process of keeping all 
of a website's components—including 
databases, HTML files, photos, and 
videos—on a server.
 When users access the associated 
domain, servers—powerful computers 
linked to the internet—host and 
provide the website content.

Conclusion:
 Recall that in order to have a working 
website, you must have both a 
domain and hosting. 
 Your website needs hosting in order 
to be available and accessible on the 
internet, whereas a domain only 
provides an address.
