Think of your website like you would a piece of property and it becomes very simple:

• The domain is like the street address
• The hosting is like the land on which your home sits
• And the website (or files themselves) are like the property improvements, i.e. the house, garage, etc.

We recommend Weborization,net* for domain registrations.  For hosting, we recommend WP Engine* unless your budget requires something lighter – in which case SiteGround* is recommended.

* Weborization earns an affiliate commission from our recommendations, but that’s not why we recommend these services.  We use them ourselves and strongly believe in them.
