1. What is a domain?

A domain refers to a name used in URLs to identify web pages. A domain name is a text name that stands in for the website’s numeric IP address. For example, the domain in http://www.wikipedia.com is wikipedia.com.

2. What is the difference between domain hosting and web hosting?

Web hosting refers to the space, usually on a server, where all the web page text, script, images, videos, and other information is stored. Domains represent internet signposts that show web users where to find that information.

Once running, a website can point to or redirect from an unlimited number of domains. Domain and web hosting can remain completely independent of each other. Users can purchase domain hosting from one company and purchase web hosting from another.

3. How do I get started registering a domain?

First begin by choosing which domain hosting site you would like to use. Our reviews highlight features and compare the best domain hosting services available. After choosing a domain host and name, start by registering the domain or domains of your choice. Make sure to check pricing and whether or not the domain name is available.

To develop the website, you will need to purchase web hosting to accompany the domain. You may choose the same company as the domain host or select another company. For example, you may register a domain with GoDaddy and host a website on WordPress. On the other hand, some companies may include a free domain if you purchase their web hosting solution as a package.
