There are few people nowadays who do not know about websites or the internet but still now many people are unaware about the facts of web hosting and its various branches. From simple perspective hosting a website means creating an identity for your web in the world of internet. For this you will need a domain name and a hosting server and combining both of these two technical aspects is what we all know as website hosting.

Domain name means the name that you are going to have for your website, for example Google is a domain name that the website of Google uses. To be more precise, domain name is actually the web address that is typed on web browsers. So you can wish to have any kind of name that you consider having but it must be available. If the domain name you are opting for is taken by any other company or individual that is using the name for their personal purpose then you will have to come up with another name. Sometimes you will see that there are unavailable domain names that are to be sold, what happens here is that a person buys a certain domain name and sells it at a higher price to earn benefit from it.

After domain comes the web hosting part where you choose a hosting server and it hosts all of your website files, images and programming codes. A web hosting server allows you to redirect all of these files to the domain name that you had just registered so whenever the name is typed in the browser your website comes up. This is the simplest form which expresses what Domain and Hosting mainly is so that you can gain benefit before going into action with all of the techniques.
