Introduction to Domain and Hosting
A domain is your website's address on the internet. It’s what people type in to find your site. For example, "example.com" is a domain name. Just like a home address helps people find your house, a domain helps users locate your website. Choosing the right domain is important because it reflects your brand and makes it easier for people to remember.
Hosting is the service that stores your website’s files and makes them accessible on the internet. Think of it as renting space for your website on a server. Without hosting, your website wouldn’t be visible to anyone. When you buy a hosting plan, you’re essentially renting a spot for your website to live online.
Why Do You Need Both?To have a functional website, you need both a domain and hosting. The domain gives your website an identity, while hosting provides the infrastructure to keep it running smoothly. Here’s how they work together:
- Domain Name Registration
- Hosting Plan
- Connecting Them
- Pick a Memorable Domain
- Consider SEO
- Select a Reliable Hosting Provider
