What is the Difference between Hosting and Domain?
A domain is the address of your website. Before you can setup a website, you will need a domain.To own a domain name, you need to register it with a domain registrar.Domain name is not something physical that you can touch or see. It is a string of characters that give your website an identity (yes, a name, like human and businesses). Examples of domain name: Google.com, Alexa.com, Linux.org, eLearningEuropa.info, as well as Yahoo.co.uk.
