When you're building your first website, it’s easy to mix up domain names and web hosting — but don’t worry, we’ll break it down simply.
Your domain name is your website’s address — like www.mynewcompany.com.
It’s what people type to find you online.
But just having a name isn’t enough.
To make your website visible on the internet, your content (like images, text, and pages) needs to be stored somewhere. That’s where web hosting comes in.
Think of it as renting space on a computer (called a server) where your website lives.
With:
a domain name (your site’s name), and
a hosting package (your site’s home)
You’re all set to launch your website and even create email addresses like [email protected].
Simple, right?
Let’s get you online!
