Domain names are simply the addresses under which websites can be found. They consist of three parts:
the top level domain (TLD),
the subdomain and
the web address itself.
The TLD is the part that appears at the beginning of the URL, for example: .com or .net. Subdomains are often used to create unique URLs for each page of a website. www.example.com, for example, would be a subdomain. Finally, the web address includes the complete URL to a resource: https://www.example.com/info.
Web hosting refers to the space on a server where websites reside. This space is called a virtual machine. When you buy web hosting, you get access to a shared server.
There are two main types of web hosting: dedicated and shared.
Dedicated web hosting offers customers complete control over every aspect of the server because the entire server belongs to them.
Shared web hosting, on the other hand, offers customers limited control over certain aspects of the server because there are other customers on the server.
To create a website that can be visited on the Internet, you need a domain and web hosting. Usually, web hosting is a package that includes at least a domain and tools such as a database and email accounts.
