Understanding Hosting Through a Business Analogy

Customers came to the address...

 

 

But there was no shop structure, no shelves, no products inside

Rahul bought a shop, name board and printed visiting cards with the address

But there was a problem :

He had an address

He had a shop name

But he had no physical space to keep products

Understanding Hosting Through a Business Analogy

Rahul realized:

Address alone is not enough

He need a place to store products and operate

So he rented a physical space

Now:

Address = Easy to find

Shop space = Place where                    products are kept

Understanding Hosting Through a Business Analogy

Learning for Students:

Stores WHAT they see there

Domain = Address

Hosting = Space where website files are stored

WHAT IS HOSTING

Hosting is a service that stores your website files on a server so people can see your website online

If you only have an address but no building, customers cannot see products

Domain = Shop Address

Hosting = Shop Building

WHY HOSTING IS IMPORTANT?

Without Hosting :

Website cannot go live

Pages will not load

Business cannot run ads or SEO

Without hosting your website won’t be visible to visitors

Example:

Buying domain without hosting is like

Printing visiting cards

Without opening the shop

HOW DOMAIN AND HOSTING WORK TOGETHER

When someone types your domain:

Server sends website files

Domain tells WHERE to go.
Hosting stores WHAT to show.

Both are required

 

Domain connects to hosting server using DNS

Browser shows website
