Domain and web hosting are two different concepts. Domain is like the address of your home, and hosting is your physical house. You need a physical place to live, and an address for people to find you.

Other Replys:Yes. You need to both own a domain and have somewhere to host the site. Here is a guide to getting started: http://www.richkahmer.com/build-a-websit...

Other Replys:Domain is just the name like www.yourname.com and you need webhosting to publish your webpages.

I would suggest following webhosting , they are quite good.
