What is a domain and web hosting?

A domain name is a website address, such as www.yourbusiness.com.au, that is linked to an IP address (which represents a physical point on the Internet). You rent your domain name from an ISP (Internet Service Provider) for a small yearly fee.

This ensures that no one else can have the same 'address' as you. As well as a registered domain name, you will need a hosting company to host your website's information on the internet. Think of this as paying a fee for a storage unit for your website. Prices for hosting differ depending on the size of your website and how many visitors you plan to have coming to your site monthly.
