When you create a website, you need two things to make it accessible to the public: web hosting and a domain name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Web hosting<\/strong> is the service that stores your website’s files and makes them accessible to visitors. When someone types your website’s address into their web browser, their computer sends a request to your web hosting provider, which then delivers the requested files to the user’s computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A domain name<\/strong> is the address of your website on the internet. It is the part of the URL that people type into their web browser to access your website. For example, the domain name for UltimateWB is “www.ultimatewb.com”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do web hosting and domain names work together?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you purchase a domain name, it is registered with a domain name registrar. The registrar then stores the domain name’s information, such as its IP address, in a DNS (Domain Name System) server. When someone types your domain name into their web browser, their computer sends a request to a DNS server, which then returns the IP address of your website. The computer then connects to your web hosting provider, which delivers the requested files to the user’s computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the different types of web hosting?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three main types of web hosting: shared hosting, VPS hosting, and dedicated hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
