What a domain name is
Your domain is your address on the internet, like yourbusiness.co.uk. You rent it yearly from a registrar, and as long as you renew it, it is yours.
What hosting is
Hosting is the computer that stores your website and shows it to visitors around the clock. You pay for it monthly or yearly.
What they typically cost
A .co.uk or .com domain is usually around £10 to £20 a year. Basic hosting for a small business site is often a few pounds a month. Prices vary by provider, so compare before you buy.
Always own your domain
Register the domain in your own name, with your own login. If someone else owns it, they effectively own your address, and moving away later can be painful.
