I think web hosting and domain are difference thing. From my knowledge web hosting is the site where you input all of your website data and domain is your website address, like goodtipsforyou.com

There are three basic parts that make up any current day web site:

1. The domain name
2. The web-hosting, or server
3. The site files themselves

A Domain Name is:
"a text name which provides a more humanly memorable name to stand in for a numeric IP address."
Web hosting on the other hand is:
"Web hosting is the provision of space on Internet servers for storing web pages, content and databases. These can then be accessed by others via the Internet."

Domain you can buy from the hosting company, It's a URL which is help the people to search on the internet. Hosting is where you can store all of your website data and it is help you to make your domain live on the internet.

I will explain via simple example.

A domain name is like your "Company Name", you can register your company name with concern department, no one else can book the same name in future until you leave.

A web hosting is place from which the domain is operating, just like Office in the above case, every company must have office to operate, if a company doesn't have office thats mean its not hosted by physicall location. so when book a online name for your company that's called domain, when you host it on the server to operate your website and emails that's called web hosting

Instead of street name and area code, set of words or/and numbers are used for the website’s naming’. The same goes with hosting, computer hard disk and computer memory are used instead of instead of wood and steel for storing and processing data files.
