If you are starting your online business, you have probably come across words like website, domain and hosting. And although they may sound technical, understanding them is much easier than you think.
Here we explain them clearly, without unnecessary jargon:
What is a website?
Your website (or site) is the set of pages that display your information, services or products on the internet. It is like your digital premises: the place where your customers can find you, read you, trust you and contact you. In short: it is your online shopfront.
What is a domain?
The domain is the address people type to find your site. Example: www.yourbusiness.com. Without a domain, nobody could easily reach your site. Think of the domain as the address of your premises.
What is hosting?
Hosting (or web hosting) is the space where your site lives. It is like the hard drive in the cloud that stores your text, images and everything shown on your page. Imagine it as the physical premises where your digital shopfront is set up.
How do they connect?
For your site to work and for people to find it, you need all three: 1. Your site (the content and design). 2. A domain (the address to access it). 3. Hosting (the place where it all lives).
