What is a domain name?
A domain name is an easy to remember address on the Internet. By registering a particular domain name, you reserve that address so nobody else can use that name. If you decide to put a website at your domain name, you will need your domain name hosted.Are your domains fully registered?

What is Domain Hosting?
Domain hosting is a hard drive in cyberspace where you put your website, files or other software. Although with server software, you could use your own hard drive to host your web site, it needs to be operational, accessible to and from the web 24 hours a day and capable of handling strong loads when the busy times arrive. Although it might sound easy, having a system operational at all times involves having a backup server and other costly failsafe measures. Everytime you turn off or reboot your computer, your website is chucked off the web. This is why most people use a hosting company to provide their hosting needs because this will guarantee a 99.9% uptime for their websites without the worry or expense of doing it themselves. For a site to display properly it must be up at all times. That is the best way of attracting regular visitors as nobody returns to a site thats not there.
