Today, an online presence is very important for most companies. To be able to represent your company online, some basic terms need to be understood correctly. Hosting and Domain are two of the most common terms while establishing a new website.

What is a domain name?

A domain name is actually a web address. To access a certain web page, you need to type the domain name in your browser’s URL bar. A domain can be confused with a web site, however, the domain is only the address of the web site. You can think of it as the address of a house.
