What is web hosting and a domain?

Web hosting is what gets your website online and accessible by the world! Web hosting stores your websites files on the server, while a domain is what directs your viewers to these files. A domain name is what you type into the web browser to go to a website. Example: SetraHost.com
A good way to think about this is if web hosting was your house, the domain name would be the address that directs people to your house. To start building your website, you will need web hosting and a domain and luckily, we provide both and at a price you can afford!
