When people talk about websites, three things often come up at once, and they’re easy to confuse. Here’s a short explanation of what each one is and why you need all three.
Domain
The domain is your website’s address, such as calioradesign.com. It’s registered for one or more years at a time, and it stays yours even if you switch hosts.
Hosting
Hosting is the server where your website lives and where visitors load it from. Good hosting is fast, reliable and makes regular backups.
Business email (for example info@yourcompany.com) uses the same domain but is a separate service. It looks far more trustworthy than a free inbox.
Why keep them in one place?
When your domain, hosting and email are all with one partner, you get one invoice, one contact person and someone who takes responsibility when something doesn’t work.
