    You need domain name for hosting site yes.

    No domain name does not have to be same as hosting site. You can buy one from any company and then point it to hosting site. It is just easier to have both the domain name and hosting on same site.

    1. You need domain name for hosting?
    No. It can work fine with a subdomain of that host as well.

    2. My domain and host name must be same?
    What do you mean by this:confused:

    A host is a company where you rent server space, like a shared account to store your files. A domain is like www.yourdomain.com

    A host = Place where your sites are hosted.
