Domain And Host

A domain is an internet metaphor for a virtual home or office. These domains have been given identifiable names such as designtalkboard.com. They have been sub-divided into various categories, such as .com (for commercial), .gov, (for governmental), .org, (for non-profit organisations), .edu (for educational establishments) and so on. These are known as domain names.

Domain names are also available on a country specific basis, such as .co.uk (for the United Kingdom) and .com.au (for Australia). Some of these have become very sought after (and expensive) as they have very memorable or useful extensions - for example .tv and .cc. There are a whole range of other domain name categories and many more are being added every year. [1]

A web-host is a company that hosts web sites. They may offer a number of services, including shared hosting - where a number of web sites sit on one web server, or dedicated web hosting - where a computer (or many computers) serve just one web site.
