Domain name, hosting & website design explained

Alright, let's break it down in simple terms!

Imagine you're building a house on the internet. The domain name is like your house's address. It's what people type in their browser to find your place. "www.creativedrive.co.nz" directs them to your digital space.

Now, hosting is where your house is actually built. It's like renting a section of land to build your home. Hosting companies provide the servers and technology needed to store your website's files and make it accessible online 24/7. So, when someone types in your domain name, the hosting company serves up your website for them to see.

Finally, website design is like decorating and organising your house. It's all about how your site looks and functions. You pick the layout, colors, pictures, and text to create a welcoming and easy-to-navigate space for your visitors. Just like how you arrange furniture and paint walls to make a house feel like home.

Finally, website design is like decorating your house because it involves creating an environment that's visually appealing, functional, and comfortable for its visitors and residents.

Just like decorating a house, website design involves making decisions about layout, color schemes and overall aesthetics. These decisions are made to create a pleasant and inviting atmosphere that encourages people to stick around and explore.

So, to sum it up, your domain name is the address, hosting is the land your house sits on, and website design is how you decorate and organise your digital home. Easy peasy, right?
