There will be a simplified explanation of each of the domain and hosting as follows.

This comes as an alternative to the IP site that had been identified in the past as numbers that are difficult to memorize and remember. Also, the domain that you have reserved is only for your site. Then, it is impossible to find another site that carries the same name or address of the site.


It is important to dedicate enough time to choose your domain name to make it achieve its position in front of its competitors. It must be taken into account that it is easy to memorize and pronounce so that people will always remember it. It is also recommended that it will be short and related to the content of your site. For instance, it must include one of the good and targeted keywords in the search. This will help to improve your site’s ranking on the search engines. It will attract more visitors. In nutshell, you should stay away from repeating the letters and from using the punctuation marks for this leads people to make spelling errors that may lead them to the other sites.

There is a difference between the types of hosting in terms of: their storage capacity: Some of them are limited and others have no limits. The amount of data that is allowed to be transferred between the site and the server, on which it is hosted, with taking into account that the capacity needs of each site is according to its size. It could be small or large in terms of the expected number of visitors. Once the specified capacity expires, the site will stop in the middle or before the end of the month.
