Domain Name:
1. Domain:
- It’s your unique web address (e.g., www.yourwebsite.com).
- It’s what users type into their browser to find your website.
- You rent a domain name yearly from a domain registrar.
2. Web Hosting:
- It’s the storage space for your website’s files and data.
- It’s a service that keeps your website accessible on the internet.
- You typically pay for hosting monthly or yearly from a hosting provider.
How they work together:
- Your domain name points to your hosting server.
- When someone types your domain name, their browser finds the right hosting server to display your website.
Remember: You need both a domain name and hosting to have a fully functioning website that people can visit.
Think of it this way: Your domain name is like a street address where you can direct people to find you on the internet. Your hosting is like your physical house, and your website files are the contents inside. When visitors type your domain name into their browsers, it’s like using your address to find your house. The server (your house) then knows to display the correct website (show what’s inside) to the visitor.
