hosting domain #domain hosting

 

every website needs both web hosting and domain hosting it's common to get confused between the two since most people purchased both from the same provider so what's the difference well.

 

A domain hosting service sells domains and registers them to an owner in exchange.

 

 

 

for a yearly subscription fee different. types of domains have different prices.

usually from as low as $10.

 

what a domain?

domain does is direct visitors to a specific.

 

website much like the address of a house.

 

every domain has a matching IP address.

 

that sets its location on the Internet.

 

and of course it's much easier to

remember and share a domain name rather.

 

than an actual IP address domains are actually categorized into different.

 

 

levels the most common would be top-level generic top-level and second level when you buy a domain from a

 

domain host you gain ownership of that

 

domain for as long as you pay the yearly

 

fee but you can't build a website

 

without web hosting. web hosting is a

 

service that offers space to keep all

 

your files for your website to be able

 

to buy web hosting the provider will

 

require that you already own a domain

 

and if you don't the web hosting

 

provider can actually sell you one

 

speaking of web hosting there are a few

 

different types the most common would be

 

shared managed and dedicated and

 

depending on the type of web hosting.

 

you buy you'll have different tools at your

 

disposal in shared web hosting a number

 

of websites are hosted on the same

 

server this is the best choice for small

 

websites the thing is though if one of

 

the websites in a shared server gets a

 

surge of visits and crashes the server

 

all the other websites hosted on there

 

will be affected too now different to

 

shared web hosting would be dedicated

 

web hosting and that's when you host

 

each website on its own server since

 

websites aren't sharing a server they

 

can have much larger bandwidth for

 

higher traffic and finally a managed

 

hosting also gets confusing for some

 

because all types of web hosting can

 

also be managed

 

basically it adds a full suite of tools

 

to install and run WordPress managed

 

files manage email plus you have an

 

entire team with developers always at

 

your disposal now that we've covered the

 

difference between the two did you know

 

some people actually recommend that you

 

should have separate hosts for your

 

domain and website for two main reasons

 

number one if a hacker gets access

 

through your domain they can then get

 

access to all of your files they then

 

could lock down the website and transfer

 

the domain to wherever they want which

 

means you would lose everything and

 

number two let's say you pay for web

 

hosting and domain hosting on the same

 

day with the same provider one year

 

later your subscription expires and your

 

domain goes into a holding pattern if

 

you didn't switch hosts before that

 

happened you could lose the domain

 

completely anyways that's just some food

 

for thought now you know everything when

 

it comes to domain and web hosting.
