Domain vs hosting

A domain is your website address, such as example.com. Hosting is the server space where your website files, database and email data are stored. To launch a website, you usually need both a domain and a hosting package.

DNS connection

After buying a domain and hosting, the domain must point to the hosting server through nameservers or DNS records. This connects the visitor’s browser to your website files.

SSL certificate

SSL makes your website load with HTTPS. It protects visitor data and removes browser security warnings. For SEO and user trust, SSL is now essential for every website.

Best setup process

First choose a domain name, then select a hosting package based on storage and traffic needs. After that, connect DNS, install SSL, upload your website or install WordPress, and finally submit the site to Google Search Console.
