In simple terms, a domain name is your business address (although it also serves as your business name). Your domain name is what your customers will type into their web browser so they can find your website, products, and services. It is similar to a physical address that you tell people so they can locate you.

A website is essential if you want to have an online presence. 

For most people, when they want to buy something or conduct business, one of the first things they do is Google the product or service. People still look for their products online before purchasing them in a physical store.

You gain visibility and get in front of your clients when you have an online store. 

Having a website for your business will: 

• Assist you in reaching out to a larger audience with your marketing efforts than you might have with a physical presence.
• Aid in keeping in touch with your current clients and attracting new ones.
• Enable you to compete fairly with other larger enterprises by leveling the playing field.
• Assist you in creating a dynamic brand by leveraging email marketing, social media marketing, and other forms of marketing.

Deciding whether you need a website for your domain name depends on certain factors:

• Start an online business: If you wish to sell online with your domain name, you need a website that your customers can visit to purchase your products and services.
• Buy a domain name for a future project: If you have an idea for a future project but are not quite ready to work on it just yet, a great way to secure the domain name is by purchasing it for use later. Registering and parking the domain name will prevent others from buying it. You don’t need a website for this.
• Resell your domain name: The domain resell market is enormous. If you bought a terrific domain name that you believe is valuable, you can put it up for sale for a higher price. Voice.com, for instance, sold in 2019 for $30 million, and NFTs.com in 2022 for $15 million. You don’t need a website to park your domain name for sale.
• Domain alias: A domain alias is a domain that you don’t intend to use solely but instead points to your primary domain name. For example, if your domain name is hello.com, you could also purchase helo.com, hello.org, hello.net, and helloo.com. These two domain names can then be pointed to hello.com so that when a customer mistakenly uses any of them, they can still find your website. You need a website for your primary domain name.
• Domain name for email: When people receive emails from a sender using free email services like Gmail and Yahoo mail, they usually don’t trust such emails as they are not sure who is behind the email. A professional email like support@yourdomain.com instantly tells the recipient who sent the email. Professional email is bundled with our web hosting plans.

There are advantages to using a professional domain-based email like customersuport@yourdomain.com versus using one from free email services like Gmail and Yahoo mail.

1. Using a domain-based email address helps you come across as a professional.
2. Potential customers are more likely to trust a business that uses a domain-based email address. 
3. Unlike free email services where your name of choice may have been claimed already, with a domain-based email address, you can use whatever you want.
4. A domain-based email address also carries your website’s address. It reminds your customers to visit your website when they get an email from you.

Hosting a website or an online store requires purchasing a domain name.

Just as a domain name is your web address that people can enter into their web browser to find your website, products, and services, think of hosting as the land on which your online store stands.
