What is domain Name?
Domain name is the address of your website that people type in the browser URL bar to visit your website. In simple terms, if your website was a house, then your domain name will be its address.Each computer is assigned an IP address. It is a series of numbers that identify a particular computer on the internet. A typical IP address looks like this:
192.168.8.10
Now an IP address like this is quite difficult to remember. Imagine if you had to use such numbers to visit your favorite websites. Domain name is helps us navigate the internet easily instead of memorizing the IP address of the website. When a site visitor enters your domain name into a browser, the domain is then translated into a server IP address.
When you enter a domain name in your web browser, it first sends a request to a global network of servers that form the Domain Name System (DNS).These servers then look up for the name servers associated with the domain and forward the request to those name servers.
For example, if your website is hosted on Lanka Data Center, then its name server information will be like this:
ns1.lankadatacenter.com
ns2.lankadatacenter.com
These name servers are computers managed by your hosting company. Your hosting company will forward your request to the computer where your website is stored.A domain name consists of two parts: Top Level Domain (TLD) and second-Level Domain (SLD). For example, on the domain “lankadatacenter.com,” the SLD is “lankadatacenter,” while the “.com” is the TLD.
How to Obtain a Domain Name?
To obtain a domain name, you must register a domain name with a Domain Registrar like Launchpad, which you can do so through your Customer Portal or https://www.lankadatacenter.com/domains.
What is Web Hosting?
Web hosting is the home where your website lives. Web hosting is a technology that is needed for your website to be accessible online publicly or privately. The web-hosting or server is much like the space that you rent for your business. It’s merely space itself. This is the actual computer where your website’s files are stored. Such computers are called servers and they are offered as a service by hosting companies.
Luckily, in the web-hosting world, it’s effortless to furnish the space provided by your host because you can install many framework applications through within your cPanel. To create your website, you need both domain name and web hosting
Without the hosting services, you won’t have a place for your files to reside, so your domain would become like a disconnected phone number in the phone directory, and your site files would have nowhere to stay.
