Domain name and web hosting explained.
Your domain name (e.g. controlb.com, amazon.co.uk, example.org) is the unique part of your web address. It should reflect your business either by name or by what you do, and it is unique. Once you know what you want your company to be called, your domain name should be the first thing you buy.
If you think of your website as your office building or shop premises, your web hosting is the plot of land it’s built on and utilities service. The size of the plot is your web space, and the amount of information that passes from your premises is your bandwidth; traditionally, the more web space and bandwidth you use, the more you have to pay per month.
There are thousands of companies providing domain name registration and web hosting to compare. How are they different? Why are some more expensive than others? Which should you choose?
