WordPress is one of the most popular Content Management Systems (CMS) out there thanks to its ease of use, extensive customization options, and unrivaled community support. In fact, it currently powers 40 percent of all websites. 

However, there are many differences between the two versions of WordPress – WordPress.com and WordPress.org, and it’s important to know the distinction when choosing the right platform for your project.

You’re probably here because you’ve seen the term web hosting and domain name. You need both to create a website, but they’re responsible for different sides of that. After all, it’s the most common question that beginners have when starting on their website.

In this article, I will explain the difference between web hosting and domain names and give an overview of what they are.

What Is a Domain Name?

A domain name is an address people use to reach a website, like google.com.

There are different types of hosting services available. In this blog post, we’ll be diving into two types of web hosting and the difference between the two: shared hosting and managed WordPress hosting for agencies.

Setting up your own website can be a great first step for your business. Offering an online option will appeal to more customers, and word of mouth will quickly spread about you. In terms of web hosting options, you will likely find that a VPS is a good intermediary between the three that are readily available. You will then need to decide if you are going to go with a managed vs. unmanaged VPS. We will be examining the differences between the two to make your decision a little clearer.

What is VPS?

There are three main types of web hosting that are available for your website. Shared hosting is the first, and usually the cheapest option. It involves hundreds of different websites sharing the same server and resources, such as CPU time, memory, and disk space. This tends to be what…
