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.
