Hosting and Domain

Many people ask me what is domain and what is hosting when they talk about their own web site building. As they have very little knowledge in this field, I don't go for any technical description, I just tell a few simple lines which will be understandable for them. I tell them, think your web site is a house of shop or office or something like that. To build a house, you need land, where your house will be build. And your house need an address or holding number. Domain is the address of your web site, and hosting is the land of your web site. In all cases, I found general people understand the whole thing very easily.

Actually web hоsting or Internet hosting allows anyone to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts provide the hosting service. They provide space on a server for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. The server may be their own or leas. And
a domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet. Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS). The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) manages the top-level development and architecture of the Internet domain name space.
