How Domain Names and Web Hosting are Related?

Domain names and web hosting are two different services. However, they work together to make websites possible.

Basically a domain name system is like a massive address book that is constantly updated. Behind each domain name, there is an address of the web hosting service storing the website’s files.

Without domain names, it will not be possible for people to find your website and without web hosting you cannot build a website.

This is why many top domain name registrars also offer web hosting services.

What do I need to Build a Website? Domain Name or Web Hosting?

To build a website you will need both a domain name and web hosting account.

Buying a domain name alone only gives you right to use that particular domain name for a specific period (usually 1 year).

You need web hosting to store your website’s files. After you get hosting, you need to update your domain name settings and point it to your web hosting service provider.

If you are starting your first website, then this may sound like a lot.

Once you have purchased hosting and registered your domain name, you can start building your website. For complete step by step instructions, we RayaFeeL technologies here to help you.
