The easiest way to picture it is to think of web hosting as your home and the domain name is the address. All websites must have both a domain name and a web hosting account in order to be visible on the web. A domain name as an easy-to-read name tag which people use to visit and view a specific website.
Websites are usually accessed by either typing in a uniform resource locator (URL) which contains the domain name of a website or by typing in an internet protocol (IP) address associated with a web hosting account . For example, a website’s domain name is in alphabetical form (www.mywebsite.com) while an IP address is in numerical form (12.34.567.89).
Domain names can be purchased anywhere and for a variety of prices, however a domain name registrar is not always the best web hosting provider.
