Domain is the naked URL which is bought from a domain registrar or a web hosting company. Web hosting is a services that helps to make your domain live over the internet so that online surfers can view and know more about your website.

Web hosting services work by storing your website files in high-powered computers (web servers) connected to a very fast network. The domain name is essentially your company’s Internet address; the same way your company’s street address is used to find your offices, a domain name is used to find your website. Considering this, pick a domain name that’s memorable and relevant!

And it is prefered to have Domain and Hosting Account NOT on the same Company. It is better to have the Domain registered by an another Companys and not your Hostingprovider.

Domain is name like you have a name, and hosting is a place like your home.

When setting up your first website it's not uncommon to get confused between domain name registration and web hosting. Your domain name is the name of your site or your url (www.mynewcompany.com) and can be purchased by going to a domain name registrar

Domain names can be purchased anywhere, but it’s convenient to buy the domain and set up hosting in the same location.

A domain name, is like the address of your home; web hosting on the other hand, is the space of your campaign where you place your product.

[monty]

Domain is just the name . But it will only open when you associate and point it to some web hosting (Real space on server / Computer hard disk)

Domain names are like addresses and web hosts are like houses where you host your websites.

[mspanwar8924]

Domain is the just a name of our website and hosting is place where we save our website's data.

Webhosting is something you host your domain on and a domain is something you buy to host your web site on.
