DOMAIN HOSTING

Domain names and web hosting are 2 totally different services but they are heavily dependant on each other.

A domain name is nothing but a label. You cannot use it to store anything. Web hosting is the actual storage medium itself where you can store the content of your website.

Let's look at a bottle of apple juice. The label is "ABC Apple Juice" but the label cannot be used to store the juice; it is the bottle itself that can be used to store the juice. The label is the domain name while the bottle is the web host. The same label can be stuck to any bottle the manufacturer desires.

Because domain names and web hosting are separate, the benefit is that once you become the rightful owner of the "label", you can choose whatever "bottle" you want. Coca cola can choose whatever bottle they want. If you are the rightful owner of a domain name, you too can choose whatever web host you want and you can change your web host anytime you want.

Becoming a rightful owner of a domain name is as simple as paying a registration fee, say $10 for the right to use the domain name for 1 year. You can always renew it after it expires.
