What is Web Hosting?
A domain is the address of your website. Before you can setup a website, you will need a domain.
To own your own domain, you will need to register your domain with a domain registrar.
Domain name is not something physical that you can touch or see. It is a string of characters that give your website an identity (yes, a name, like human and businesses). Examples of domain name: Google.com, yahoo.com, facebook.com, as well as angelsinsuits.com.au.
All domain names are unique. This means there can be only one angelsinsuits.com.au in the world. You cannot register a name once it is registered by others (governed by ICANN).
To simplify: A domain name, is like the address of your home; web hosting on the other hand, is the space of your house where you place your furniture.
Instead of street name and area code, set of words or/and numbers are used for the website’s naming’. Computer hard disk and computer memory are used instead of instead of wood and steel for storing and processing data files.
The relationship between domain name, website and web hosting is linear, but it is necessary for all to be accessible by a website visitors. The first part works when a user types in the domain name of a website in their browser. The browser is then communicated to the website that sits on the web hosting service provider.
Technically, the domain name request first goes to the hosting provider’s server, which calls the necessary resources from your website and then shows it to the visitor.
