A domain is a human-readable name that represents a website's address (e.g., example.com). Hosting, on the other hand, is the server space where a website's data is stored and served to the internet. While a domain acts like an address, hosting is the physical or virtual space where the content associated with that address resides. Users connect to the hosting via the domain to access the website. These are two separate services, but they work together.
What's the difference between a domain and hosting?

First time I tried setting up a blog, I bought a domain like "myepicblog.com" thinking that's all I needed. Spent hours designing only to realize my site wasn't live because I forgot hosting entirely — like buying a house number but no land to build on. Had to scramble to pick a hosting plan and migrate everything, classic newbie moment.
