Question by Jamunat: What is difference between Hosting and Domain server?
or Hosting and Domain service?

Best answer:

Answer by Colinc
Hosting is the act of allowing web sites to be run on a machine. This can be shared between multiple internet domains. A domain server generally refers to different type of domain, as in Windows NT or Active Directory domains. A domain also refers to the actual web site’s registered name just to cause confusion. To own an internet domain name you need to register it with a recognised authority. You can then host this domain on a hosting company’s server. There are also Domain Name Servers run by the domain registrars, these keep the lists of IP addresses related to internet domain names.

Question by palisetty SUMAN: is name server and domain server, both the same?

Best answer:

Answer by JoelKatz
No. A name server only converts names to numbers. A domain server actually serves the content of a domain. (Unless someone is using the term “domain sever” to mean “domain *name* server”, in which case it means the same thing as name server.)

Question by kfount400: How do you point your website to a domain name when using your own server?

Best answer:

Answer by Colinc
You need to register the domain name, then set the registrar’s dns A and CNAME records to point to your server. If this is really your own server at home, you will need to subscribe to a fixed IP address and set port forwarding on the router pointing to your machine.
