Domain name registration is the act of reserving a name on the Internet for a certain period, usually one year. Many companies allow you to use subdomains of their domain names for a website, or you can have an email with their primary domain (like Yahoo.com, Gmail.com).

When a hosting provider allocates space on a web server for a website to store its files, they are hosting a website. Web hosting makes the files that comprise a website (code, images, etc.) available for viewing online. Every website you’ve ever visited is hosted on a server.

Shared hosting is where a single physical server hosts multiple sites. Many users utilize the resources on a single server, which keeps the costs low. Since shared hosting is not sufficient for sites with high volume traffic, they should consider a VPS or dedicated hosting instead.

Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting wherein the account owner has the ability to use his or her allotted hard drive space and bandwidth to host websites on behalf of third parties. The reseller purchases the host’s services and then sells them to customers.

Cloud VPS hosting makes applications and websites accessible using cloud resources. Unlike traditional hosting, solutions are not deployed on a single server. Instead, a network of connected virtual and physical cloud servers host the website.

WordPress hosting is similar to shared hosting, but the server resources are optimized to provide the resources needed in the WordPress environment. The result is greater efficiency, higher performance, improved security and easier management.
