Difference between Website Hosting and Domain Names

In addition to registering a hosting service, you also need to purchase a domain. What is the difference? Although web hosting allows you to rent server space for your site, the domain is its address, for example, our domain name is darkhost.pro. When visitors want to visit your site, they enter the domain name into their browser's address bar, and the server sends the content they requested.
Most hosting providers offer a separate domain name purchase. Or, if you already have a domain, you can also transfer it to your current hosting provider. Similar to hosting plans, you must pay for your domain name annually to retain ownership of the domain.
