What is the difference between domains vs hosting vs website?

Internet has been part of human life and it’s taking more and more space in human lives day by day. We use internet for surfing many websites and we frequently hear words like Domain , Web hosting and websites, but very few of us are aware about actual meaning of these three words.

Today we will understand about these two words by simplifying it’s definitions.

Now let’s answer a simple question. What we do to call a person ? it’s a too simple, we just dial his/ her mobile number and then we get connected. In the same way, when we try access any website, we just enter URL in browser and we get website opened. In this simple process the words “domain” , “web hosting” and “website” are included very deeply.

Now let’s understand each word separately.

Domain Names

Computers communicateIP addresses, to contact each other, Domain names on the internet are much like entries in a phone book. When we wish to access any website, we need to enter domain name and based on domain name, proper website will be accessed. For example www.mcapracticles.blogspot.comis a name using this name we can access the website and that’s all about domain.

Web-Hosting Servers

The web-hosting or server is much like the space that you rent out to have your business in. for example, if you want to make a website then probably you need to store your all the information like documents, images or contents somewhere on internet and that’s called the webhosting server. Your website is stored in server along with domain name. when user enters domain name on browser, particular website linked with that domain becomes available soon.

Site Files

The site files are what your visitors and potential customers actually see when going to site such as your products and services. Whatever we put on website like photo, sounds, files , documents etc in web hosting servers to make it available in our website are called site files.

Hope you may be little aware about these three important words of world of internet.
