Then you buy a hosting plan linked with your domain name. After that, you can start installing other tools and software such as WordPress, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Web hosting is where your website is stored, and the domain name is the address of that location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WEBHOSTING-VS-DOMAIN-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"web hosting vs domain\" class=\"wp-image-12592\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WEBHOSTING-VS-DOMAIN-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WEBHOSTING-VS-DOMAIN-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WEBHOSTING-VS-DOMAIN-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WEBHOSTING-VS-DOMAIN-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WEBHOSTING-VS-DOMAIN.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#193263\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relationship-Between-Domain-And-Hosting\"><\/span>Relationship Between Domain And Hosting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Domain Name System and Web Hosting services work together for the website. A domain name addresses the websites, whereas web hosting is where we keep those websites. Domain name system is an address, and behind every DNS, there is a web hosting &#8211; storing website files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To build a website, you need both. Without a domain name, no one can find a website, and without web hosting, a website cannot be built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can either buy both services with the same company or separately with two different companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#193263\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Elaborate-Web-Hosting-and-Domain-Name-Separately\"><\/span>Elaborate Web Hosting and Domain Name Separately<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Domain-Name-System\"><\/span>Domain Name System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like your home address, the Domain Name System is the address of the website you are vising. It is used for locating a particular website. For instance, the DNS of our website is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/93c4b5e4-56c4-4173-b627-b009bca866ab-1024x576.png\" alt=\"domin\" class=\"wp-image-14996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/93c4b5e4-56c4-4173-b627-b009bca866ab-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/93c4b5e4-56c4-4173-b627-b009bca866ab-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/93c4b5e4-56c4-4173-b627-b009bca866ab-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/93c4b5e4-56c4-4173-b627-b009bca866ab-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/93c4b5e4-56c4-4173-b627-b009bca866ab.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Domain Name System (DNS) translates the domain name into the numerical <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" href=\"https:\/\/besturate.com\/hide-my-ip-address\/\" title=\"IP address\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">IP address<\/a> and helps you locate your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Domain Name Works<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A domain name works with an IP address, a combination of numbers and dots in a particular manner to make it unique. An IP address should look like: 66.249.66.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The computer can retrieve and retain these numbers, but IP addresses make no sense to humans. Therefore, the Domain Name System was invented, so that website owners purchase a domain to make it easier for laymen to search for a particular site. A domain name makes it easy to remember the exact address of the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A domain name is an indication of web property owing to copyright rules. In case if you want to sell, you need to transfer the ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Domain does not work itself. You need to point your domain towards your hosting account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Subdomain<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After purchasing a primary domain, you can create multiple subdomains. You can build complete websites under a subdomain, and one field contains various subdomains. It is more like a child and parent relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, finance.yahoo.com &#8211; finance is a subdomain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Domain Name Extensions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Domain names have different kinds of extensions. Some of them are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>. com<\/li><li>.net<\/li><li>.org.<\/li><li>.gov<\/li><li>.biz,etc.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>All domain name extensions are different for each country and organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Domain Names Classification<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Domain names are classified based on their name extensions. There are two domain name classifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Top-level Domain Names (TLDs)<\/li><li>Second\u2013Level Domain Names (SLD)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top-level Domain Names (TLDs)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the highest and the roots of DNS. Examples of top-level domains include .com .net and .org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second\u2013Level Domain Names (SLD)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>After the top-level domain, there is a second-level domain. Examples of SLDs are &#8220;google&#8221; and &#8220;besturate.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">You can make any sequence as per your choice from a-z, A-Z, or 0-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"428\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-1.jpg\" alt=\"uniform resource locator \" class=\"wp-image-14998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-1.jpg 428w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Untitled-1-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#193263\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Web-Hosting\"><\/span>Web Hosting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Web hosting is the house, while DNS is the address of the house. Web hosting is a place or land where all files of the website are store and live. It is like the home of your website. It is an allocated web server space where all your files are stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you write &#8220;Besturate&#8221;, a domain name in the browser, it is translated into an IP address on the web hosting company's computer on the backhand. That computer contains website files, and those files are sent back to the browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every website needs a web hosting provider, and many web hosting companies store and serve websites by giving different hosting plans to their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A web hosting provider provides you with the space to display your site content such as text, images and videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types-of-Web-Hosting-Services\"><\/span>Types of Web Hosting Services<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"737\" src=\"https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-types-of-web-hosting-1-1024x737.jpg\" alt=\"The Three Main Types of Web Hosting - YourLastHost Blog\" class=\"wp-image-14999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-types-of-web-hosting-1-1024x737.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-types-of-web-hosting-1-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-types-of-web-hosting-1-768x553.jpg 768w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-types-of-web-hosting-1-1536x1105.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/besturate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/3-types-of-web-hosting-1-2048x1474.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Numerous hosting companies provide different kinds of hosting services. Some of them are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shared Hosting Service: <\/strong>This type of web hosting is highly recommended for beginners. You are sharing the server space with multiple websites. So, such hosting services are incredibly cheap. You can visit our page to learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/besturate.com\/shared-hosting\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">shared hosting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reseller Web Hosting Service: <\/strong>It allows web developers, designers and IT entrepreneurs to buy and resell hosting packages to their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Virtual Dedicated Server or Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting: <\/strong>A physical server is virtually separated into multiple portions. This is better for those who want more than shared hosting at an affordable price than dedicated servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dedicated Web Hosting Service: <\/strong>You can rent your server for the website. Many hosting providers have dedicated servers which are costly than shared hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cloud Hosting Service: <\/strong>Cloud hosting uses a cluster of servers to host a website. If one server is down, another can support the website resulting in the smooth working of your site without any problem. Read more on <a href=\"https:\/\/besturate.com\/cloud-hosting\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cloud hosting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WordPress Hosting<\/strong>: Since WordPress is leading as a content management system, its hosting has gained popularity over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-Buy-Web-Hosting\"><\/span>How to Buy Web Hosting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Web hosting is essential to build a website. Buying a web hosting service is a critical process. Following are the steps that can assist in your decision to purchase a web hosting account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Begin Your Website With a Personalized Domain Name<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When you register a domain name, you lease it from the&nbsp;Internet Corporation for Names and Numbers&nbsp;or ICANN for short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ICANN accredits registrars to register a domain name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some domain registrars are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Bluehost<\/li><li>Hostgator&nbsp;<\/li><li>Hostinger&nbsp;<\/li><li>SiteGround Web Hosting<\/li><li>DreamHost&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Register Domain Name and Web Hosting Separately<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can purchase or register a domain name from one company and hosting services from another. This depends upon your circumstances and preferences. You can then point your domain to the hosting account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individuals may go for different companies for the following reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If someone has already registered a domain name: <\/strong>Sometimes, a client purchases a domain name before web hosting service from any other registrar. In this case, later, they only register for their web hosting account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If a client does not like the hosting services of a single company: <\/strong>Typically, a client does not like the services of the same company from which they purchased a domain name. In this case, they prefer another web hosting service provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most companies do not offer dedicated servers: <\/strong>Some providers are well known for their domain names but may fail to provide dedicated servers. So, clients purchase a domain name from registrars then move to another hosting company for dedicated servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In case of transfer: <\/strong>When you sell the ownership of your domain to some other party, there are chances that the buyer will change their hosting company. For instance, if you are using Bluehost and the person you have sold your domain is using Hostgator, then it is likely that the buyer will change hosting from Bluehost to Hostgator for better management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Register for Bundled Hosting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can buy a domain name, web hosting, and other software from a single company under a bundle package. Such providers, usually known as &#8220;website builders.&#8221; Netizens prefer bundled packages owing to the following reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beginners: <\/strong>Most new bloggers, website developers and business entrepreneurs do not know how to build a website. Therefore, they choose a bundled package to get domains and hosting and other services like WordPress and related software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Easy to Manage: <\/strong>Bundled packages are easy to manage. You do not need to download everything separately or waste your energy in handling separate domains and hosting. You get everything in few clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Economic Feasibility: <\/strong>Though they look expensive, bundled services are usually cheaper.
