Hosting and domain Are they the same?
Spoiler: both to have a website and to have mailboxes, you need both.
Is having a domain the same as having a hosting? No, they are different things.
Does the domain include space to upload my website? No, but it is essential for the hosting to work.
What is the domain?
.Com domain When you buy a domain for a website, what you acquire, to put it simply, is the right to use a certain name on the internet (such as www.digitalmarketinglahore.com ), so that people visit your website, or send you emails.
The domains do not include web space, FTP access or email accounts. So that you can start using it immediately, at Digitalmarketinglahore.com we include several free services with the domain, such as web and mail redirects.
In short, registering a domain is just that, registering the name and being able to point it to a hosting by assigning DNS servers. The domain alone does nothing, but without it, there is no where to visit your page or where to send you an email.
