When launching a website for your business, understanding the difference between web hosting and domain hosting is essential. At Net2Secure, a leading web hosting and domain provider in India, we’re here to guide you through the basics, so you can manage your services with confidence and clarity.

What Is Domain Hosting?

Domain hosting refers to the service that manages your domain name, the unique address people type into their browser to reach your website (e.g., yourbusiness.com). When you register a domain with Net2Secure, you gain ownership of that address for a specified period, typically a year or more.

Domain hosting with Net2Secure includes tools to:

  • Manage DNS records (like A, MX, or CNAME)

  • Redirect or forward domains

  • Link your domain to a website hosted elsewhere

  • Set up branded email accounts using your domain (e.g., info@yourbusiness.com)

Tip: Even if your website is hosted on another platform, you can still manage your domain through Net2Secure’s control panel and point it wherever you need.

 

What Is Web Hosting?

Web hosting refers to the server space where your website’s content files, databases, images, and code is stored and delivered to visitors when they access your domain.

At Net2Secure, we offer fast, secure, and scalable web hosting solutions designed to meet the needs of small businesses and growing enterprises in India. Whether you’re building a WordPress blog or running a high-traffic eCommerce store, our hosting plans ensure maximum uptime, high performance, and 24/7 support.

Our web hosting services include:

  • High-speed NVMe SSD storage

  • Secure server infrastructure with DDoS protection

  • One-click CMS installations (WordPress, Joomla, etc.)

  • Daily backups and SSL certificates

  • Easy integration with your Net2Secure-registered domain

Can You Have One Without the Other?

Yes, but only to a point. While domain and web hosting are separate services, they work together to bring your website online.

For example:

  • You can register a domain with Net2Secure, but not host a website yet maybe you’re reserving the name for future use or using it for a professional email address.

  • You can also purchase web hosting from Net2Secure and connect a domain you registered elsewhere by updating the DNS settings.

However, for convenience, performance, and security, we recommend managing both your domain and hosting services under one roof at Net2Secure. It simplifies setup, reduces compatibility issues, and ensures streamlined support.
