When it comes to establishing an online presence, there are key distinctions between website/email hosting and domain name registration. These services play crucial roles in making your website and email accessible to users worldwide.
Website/Email Hosting: Website and email hosting refer to the services that store and manage your website’s files, databases, email accounts, and related content on a server connected to the internet. When someone visits your website or sends an email to your domain-based email address (e.g., info@yourdomain.com), the hosting server processes these requests and delivers the relevant content or messages.
Website hosting providers offer various plans and features tailored to different website needs, such as storage space, bandwidth, security measures, and technical support. Similarly, email hosting services provide email accounts associated with your domain name, allowing you to send and receive emails using professional domain-based addresses.
Common types of website and email hosting include shared hosting, VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting, dedicated hosting, and cloud hosting, each offering different levels of resources, control, and scalability for hosting your website and managing email communication.
Domain Name Registration: Domain name registration, on the other hand, is the process of securing and claiming a unique domain name for your website and email addresses. A domain name serves as the address that users type into their browsers to access your website (e.g., www.yourdomain.com) and as the basis for creating domain-based email addresses (e.g., info@yourdomain.com).
When you register a domain name, you gain exclusive rights to use that domain for a specified period (usually annually), provided you renew the registration before it expires. Domain registration also involves specifying domain settings such as DNS (Domain Name System) records, which determine where website and email traffic is directed.
Domain registration services are offered by domain registrars, which are authorized entities accredited by domain name registries to facilitate domain registrations and management. Registrars often provide additional services such as domain privacy protection, domain transfer assistance, and domain management tools.
Key Differences: The main difference between website/email hosting and domain name registration lies in their core functions. Website and email hosting manage the storage, accessibility, and functionality of website content and email services, while domain registration involves securing and managing the unique domain name that users use to access your website and send emails.
In summary, website/email hosting and domain name registration are essential components of establishing an online presence. Website/email hosting ensures that your website and email services are operational and accessible, while domain name registration provides a unique identity and address for your online assets.

Above and beyond service. I purchased a new business so was changing their website to my regular host. But Secure Web Services service was so good I decided to change everything to them instead. 11/10!!
