Many beginners who are interested in blogging want to know what is domain and hosting?

We are here to explain all these things to guide you in a better way and all the questions you have in mind will be answered.

What is Domain?

Basically, the domain name is an address of your blog or website through which the users on the internet can find your blog or website. In simple words, it is the name which you select and through which you want that people can type and search your blog. A website domain name is always selected according to the category of your blog or website. So the people can get the idea of your blog looking at the domain name.

Here I will give you an example, Let's consider the blog you have developed as a house, then the address of that house is its domain name.

the second thing is about the selection of a good domain name, for example, I have a blog in which I am showing all the information related to content writing, So the name of the domain which I select for that blog will be like contentwriting.com

How does the Domain Name System work?

The Domain Name System is used to covert the website name into an Internet protocol address. Any device connected to the internet such as Mobiles, Tablets, Laptops has its own IP addresses. The IP address is made of numbers like (68.203.789.270). Many of the peoples search for a domain to IP so that is what I have explained. 

Remembring the address made of numbers is not easy but the domain name is easy to remember. Some of the examples of Domain Names are given below:

• blogger.com
• Youtube.com
• Facebook.com

What is Hosting?

Web hosting is basically a platform or a place where all of the files of your blog or website are stored for the purpose to be live. When we have web hosting for our website then if the users search for our website any time then it will be in front of them without time-consuming. As I have considered for your better understanding that the Domain Name is the address of your house, So here hosting is actually the house.  

How does Hosting work?

Many of the companies provide the services and technologies for blogs and websites to make it live for users. As we know that our website has many files like (HTML, CSS, Videos, Images), etc. When we set hosting for a website then all of these files will be kept by the hosting provider company in their servers so the user can easily access it when needed. People can buy hosting for their website to make it live.

Relation of Domain Name and Hosting:

Domain and Hosting are important parts of any website or blog. These two are different services and by working together it makes a website possible. As we have already discussed that the domain name and hosting have a connection. Behind every domain, there is the address of hosting in which all of the files are stored to make the website live. 

So any website can not be build without these two important services Domain and Hosting.
