Many people hear the words domain and hosting together, but they are not the same thing.
What is a domain?
A domain is your website address, such as yourbusiness.sx. It is the name people type into their browser to find you.
What is hosting?
Hosting is the service that stores your website files and makes your website available online.
Simple example
- Your domain is your address.
- Your hosting is the building where your website lives.
To launch a website, you normally need both a domain name and a hosting plan. AnyKey SX can help with .SX domains, hosting, SSL certificates, VPS, dedicated servers, and website solutions.
