Hosting vs Domain: What's the Difference?
Have you ever heard of hosting and domain but are not sure what they mean or how they are different? If you are thinking of creating a website with Hostingfy, it is important to understand these two fundamental elements. On this page we will explain everything to you in a simple and clear way, so you can choose the perfect solution for your online project.
What is a Domain?
The definition of domain
The domain is the unique address of your website, the one that people type into their browser to find you, such as www.hostingfy.eu. It’s your “name” on the internet, easy to remember and customizable according to your brand or business.
How does a domain work?
When you register a domain through Hostingfy, you are essentially reserving a unique name managed by a domain registry (such as .eu, .it or .com). This is not a physical space, but a digital identity that connects users to your site.
Definition of Hosting
Hosting, on the other hand, is the physical (or virtual) space on servers where your website files are saved: texts, images, videos and code. With Hostingfy, we offer secure and fast hosting solutions to ensure that your site is always online and accessible.
How does hosting work?
Think of hosting as a “home” for your site. When someone visits your domain, the hosting server sends the data needed to display your pages. Hostingfy provides you with several options, from shared to dedicated hosting, depending on your needs.
Role and functionality
The domain is your address, while hosting is where your site lives. Without a domain, users wouldn’t know how to find you; without hosting, there would be nothing to show when they arrive.
Definition of Hosting
Domain and hosting work together: the domain directs traffic to the hosting server, which in turn delivers the site content. With Hostingfy, you can manage both in a simple and integrated way.
