When you get a website, you’ll hear the terms "domain name" and "hosting." They might sound technical, but the concepts are quite simple.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is your website\'s address on the internet (e.g., `malalang.co.za` or `google.com`). It\'s what people type into their browser to find you. It should be memorable and relevant to your business.
What is Web Hosting?
If the domain is the address, hosting is the actual house where your website\'s files (images, text, code) are stored. This "house" is a powerful computer called a server, which is connected to the internet 24/7.
You need both a domain name and hosting to have a live website. You rent both on a yearly or monthly basis.
When you work with us, we guide you through the process of getting a domain and can include hosting as part of our affordable Web Care Plan, so you don\'t have to worry about the technical details.
