Hullo I'm a very beginner in the world of web-designing, SEO and websites etc. I wanted to know that what is domain and what is hosting? Kindly reply.
Here you go you new entrant: Domain name Web Hosting Also, you may have heard about Google.com. Try to 'use' that website. It has so much to offer you and all of us. Good day.
Domain name mead A domain name is the unique name that you choose for your web site. Web sites in the World Wide Web have unique names and are identified by the domain names that correspond with numeric IP address. By the following example we will illustrate the difference between URL and domain name: URL: http://www.something.com/index.html Domain name: www.something.com Registered domain name: something.com Web Hosting Mean Web hosting is where you place your Web pages so that they show up on the Internet.
Domain name is the name - the URL of your website - e.g.: www.yourdomain.com Hosting is the web space / server where you host your website to be available online. I don't recommend you to host your website on your own PC, as you would have to have your PC switched on 24/7 in order to have your website online non-stop. If you don't have money for hosting and domain, you could try a free web host for the beginning (e.g. freehostia.com or atspace.com) or you could start a free blogspot.com blog. However, when your website becomes bigger, I would then suggest you to switch to paid hosting like e.g. HostGator.
i also wouldnt reccomend using your pc as the host as it would beat the hell out of your equipment.. try hostgator or bluehost
A domain name is the name of the website, the part that starts with www. and ends with .com .net etc. Hosting is where your website lives. You need a hosting account to send your website out to the world. Hostgator is my hosting company of choice. I register all my domain names with Godaddy.
Like you! I usually explain for my customers that: - Domain is your address of house - Hosting is your house
Domain is a term used for the ID of web address. Every single website over the internet has domain name allocate to it on the basis of DNS (Domain Name System). Hosting is the physical space on which the site’s files will sit. It is a computer (server) placed in a datacenter somewhere. When purchasing, it will offer such features.
If you can't help new ones out here then atleast stay away from posting such replies. Would be good for you.
as you said, you are a beginner. I will explain it you in very simple words. Your name is " Rex Red definer" and you live in "karachi" so here rex is the domain name and you will karachi, this is your hosting. so for every domain name, hosting is mandatory.
