🌍 Domain Registrar vs Web Host: What’s the Difference?
If you’re building a website for the first time, two terms you’ll see everywhere are domain registrar and web hosting.
They sound similar, and most people mix them up — but they actually serve different roles.
To keep this simple, let’s use a real-world analogy.
🏡 Your Website Is Like a House
| Website Element | Real-Life Equivalent | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Domain Name | Your street address | Helps people find your website |
| Web Hosting | The land your house sits on | Stores your website’s files |
| Website | The house/building | The pages, images, and content people see |
| Domain Registrar | The agency where you register addresses | Lets you buy and manage domain names |
| Web Hosting Provider | The land provider | Gives your website a place to live online |
So:
The Domain Name = website address
Hosting = where the website actually lives
Both are needed for a website to work.
