What is the difference between a domain and web hosting?

Domain Name
When you register a domain, it gives you sole ownership and rights to the name of your site. No one else in the market has the access to the actual name of that particular domain besides you.
However, just because you have a domain does not mean that you can server a website to the world. To run a website, you will neeed a domain name, and a configured web server to put up a website.
Web Hosting
A web hosting is normally known as a service that provides web server (where you store your files at), along with its network connectiong, configuration, and its maintainance. You just need to upload your site to the server and configure your email via an online account control panel.

A domain name, is like the address of your home; web hosting on the other hand, is the space of your house where you place your furniture.

The internet offers more than hundreds of thousands cheap domain name and web hosting thus, it is easy to find a name that is cheap and because more domains names are deleted, you can get exactly get the name of domain in your mind, and it can instantly be activated without delay.But no matter how easy it is to get a domain, due to the fact that there are a lot of cheap names for your domain and hosting to choose, the task can be a bit daunting. Choosing which host is to use, like Linux or windows is confusing, however any one you choose will fit to your need, just make sure to get one that offers various data centers.

Managed and unmanaged hosting are geared toward two different types of customers. If you have the information technology resources to maintain your equipment, then unmanaged hosting is the best choice. However, for those that do not, managed colocation hosting may be the best option available. This leaves the technical aspect of networking equipment to the professionals.

Domain Name
A domain name uniquely identifies a website. Typing a domain name (also called a URL) into your browser allows you to visit that site.
One unique domain name can be used as a company's web address and for its email addresses.
In a typical domain name, the "www" refers to the fact that this computer is connected to the World Wide Web; the middle portion of a domain name is usually the name of the company that owns the computer(for example, google); the final portion of a domain name tells you what kind of site is served by this machine—in this case, ‘.com’ means this is a commercial site.
There are three "levels" of domain names. The first level, described in detail below, is the "extension" part of the name, i.e. ".com." The second level contains "domain name.extension" and The third level is the whole website.

Hosting
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center.
