[QUOTE="Faith B, post: 222461, member: 11591"] When you're buying a domain, you'll find two major differences between web hosting and domain-name registration: the cost and the level of service. For a domain, you can choose the type of server and operating system that will best suit your needs, while a web hosting account will provide a server that will store and maintain the website's files. If you're trying to decide which one to buy, there are many different types of services available. [JUSTIFY] [RIGHT][IMG align="right" width="225px" alt="Web hosting and domain hosting"]https://i.imgur.com/ieluGYt.png[/IMG][/RIGHT] Domain and web hosting are two different things. A domain name is a unique address, which is different than a street address or area code. In a web-hosting environment, the server will be located in a data center, which is a room or house where the servers are housed. Because these computers use high-speed internet connections, they require redundant power supplies, data communications connections, and environmental controls. A domain is a website's address. To obtain a domain, you must register it with a domain registrar. There are many advantages to having a website. Your domain name must be unique and available. After finding the ideal domain name, you'll need to choose a web hosting service that will provide the necessary speed, storage, and reliability. Some web hosts specialize in specific types of websites, such as business or personal websites, so you'll need to find a company that specializes in these types of sites. Then, you can point your domain name to your web hosting account. A web hosting provider should allow you to register a domain with them. If you need to register a domain separately, you should be able to do so through your domain registration provider. A few web hosting providers also offer domain registration. Choosing a different host for your domain registration may cost you extra money. It's important to make sure that your domain hosting provider is capable of dealing with both situations, otherwise you'll end up paying twice for the same service. A web hosting service offers you the capability to build and maintain a website on a web server. This allows you to host multiple websites at the same time. This way, you can pay low prices for hosting your website. Some web hosting companies offer services for as little as $5 a month. However, this type of service will not work if you plan to sell a product or create a website. Rather, you should find a company that will accommodate your needs. The key to web hosting is the ability to host a domain name. This is the space where your website's files will be stored. Then, when people want to access your site, they can use the domain name. A domain name is a string of numbers that is registered to your website. Those numbers are called IP Addresses. In this case, the IP address of your website will be the IP address of the server you've chosen.[/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
