Domain and hosting are actually part of webmaster and blogger. We herewith would like to introduce you about them.

* Domain

What is domain ?
Domain is like a domicile or one place where you could dominate, you need to have this domicile area in this internet for your website or blog

Domain is very variant, it depends on the purpose of the website made. The type of this domain was determined by the word after the dot, such as :

* .com ( read; dot com ) : this is the type of commercial website
* .org : it is usually used for organization website
* .info : for website that has content about information

There is also another domain that is indicating more to the territorial, such as :

* .co.id ( read : dot co dot id ) ; this indicate that the website is in Indonesia or for Indonesia territory

* .us ; for American website ( US = United States)

There is also another terminology for this domain that is called sub domain ( which is a part of the major domain)

You can recognize this sub domain from the way they named it which usually separated by dot, for example : if it is for main domain, it’s written like this: domainname.com however as sub domain we could make it with additional name before the main domain such as : blog.domainname.com; tool.domainname.com or else.

* Hosting

For your light illustration, you could consider domain as one computer and hosting as the electricity which will support each other.
Or you could also understand them with another comparison such as one laptop with the battery. Hence, one website should have domain name and the hosting so that it could be accessed by public

You could rent this webhosting in monthly bases or 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and so on. Of course, one webhosting would have different term and condition with the others.
