Hello,

I don't think that should be much of confusion. However, i have answered your questions as follows :

1) What are the differences between a host, a domain and a website? I have a website in wordpress. which is the domain and the host and what does each one do for my website?

Ans. Hosts basically provide you with space on a server at a Data Center which are owned by them and at the same point of time, providing 24x7 Internet connectivity.Domains are basically identification determined based on Domain Name System. They are used for addressing purposes and finally, websites refers to collection of web pages, images, videos that are addressed with domain name or their IP address.

2. My website has the usual features of having the three colums that contain the blog entries, the blogroll, archives, etc. What do the domain and the host have?

Ans. Development of your website is completely under your control. Domain will basically identify your website on the internet and Web host will provide you with space to host on their server.

3. My website has its url as the identity, how do you identify the domain and the host?

Ans. URL and Domain are in close relation or you may call it more or less the same in layman terms and host is in relation to providing space to host your website files and databases.

Regards,

Shane Phillips
