The “Domain” or “Domain name” is a set of letters and/or numbers that distinguish your Internet presence.

The domain name of our company is netz0.com

Hosting is the service that hosts and stores the domain, along with the data and files that make up a website.

The "Hosting" is a service that allocates space on a web server so that you can place pages or other content typically associated with a domain. It is possible to register a domain without hosting. Hosting is the physical space on the Internet, usually on a special server that physically hosts the files, such as images, HTML files, etc., which make up a website.

Therefore, the domain itself is only the legal registration of the name, but it does not work without being activated in a server or hosting service.

At Netz0 you can register your domain, to have it reserved on the Internet so that nobody can use this name in the future, and then eventually, you could buy a hosting. Hosting not only allows placing a website on the domain, but it provides services related to that name such as email accounts and other additional services. The domain can be used not only for web pages but also for running other services on the Internet. Every professional, brand, product or company should have a registered domain name.

It is easy to confuse both services, but in reality, they are completely separated services. For example, we have clients who have domains registered at other companies, use our hosting and services as well customers who only have a domain registered with us, but use them with servers from other vendors. Of course, it is more simple and easy to manage all his services from a centralized account at Netz0, but it is not mandatory.
