What’s the difference between a domain registrar and a hosting provider?

By Spiderz • October 3, 2023

A domain registrar is where you purchase and manage domain names. A hosting provider offers server space for your website’s files and data. They serve distinct roles in getting your website online.

Good to Know: Some companies like Spiderz offer both domain registration and hosting, making management easier. Keeping them separate is more suited to advanced users.
