What is a Domain?
A domain is your website's address on the internet. It's the name people type into their browser's address bar to visit your site.
Think of a domain like your home address:
- example.com – this is a domain
- .com, .am, .ru, .org – these are top-level domains (TLDs)
Why is a domain important?
- It is your website's identity
- It makes it easier for users to find you
- It affects SEO (search engine optimization)
What is Hosting?
Hosting is the virtual "home" where all your website's files, images, and data are stored.
If the domain is your home address, hosting is the actual house – the land, walls, and roof.
Types of hosting:
- Shared hosting – cheap, suitable for beginners
- VPS – more resources, higher performance
- Dedicated server – maximum power for large websites
