Domains and Hosting

What’s the difference between a domain, hosting and a website?

Three separate things that work together. Here’s a simple way to picture them.

These three are often confused, but they’re separate things that work together.

  • Domain = your address (yourbusiness.com).
  • Hosting = the land and building where your website lives.
  • Website = the house itself: the pages, words, images and design.

You can move a website to a new host, or point a domain to a different website, a bit like moving house and forwarding your mail.

This is why it’s important to keep your logins for each one safe and in your own name.
