What is the difference between a domain and web hosting?

A domain name is like the address of your house or apartment, and web hosting is like the apartment or house where you live. If you want to start a website, you will need both: a domain that Internet users can use to find your website and hosting, which stores all the data essential for the proper functioning of the website as well as emails.

Problems for May 1st
