domains

The "domain name" you choose determines what others must type to reach your website on the internet. For example, the registered domain name for this website is onsiteone.com. Thus to reach this website, you would enter "onsiteone.com" or "www.onsiteone.com" in your browser's* address bar.

The domain name also dictate how your email addresses will look - the part after the @ symbol. For example, all email addresses that I create for my onsiteone.com domain account must end with "@onsiteone.com".

Similar to a plot of land, you can buy a domain name just to keep it and never "construct" anything on it. A domain name in of itself is only the deed to a plot of land, for example. You still need to link a web hosting account with your new domain name if you want a website. Your web hosting account is what provides the tools to construct and manage a website.
