domain&hosting Introduction by mayank adhikari

A domain is the name/address of your website on the internet.

Example: google.com, amazon.in, myshop.online

Just like your home has a street address, your website needs a domain so people can find it.
Hosting is where your website’s files, images, code, and data are stored.

Think of it like renting space on a computer (called a server) that is always connected to the internet.

When someone types your domain (e.g., mywebsite.com), the hosting server delivers your website to their browser.
