Don’t be ashamed. You can admit it. You’re not entirely sure what the difference is between domain names and web hosting. You might also be a little bit confused about what constitutes your hosting and what is really your content management system (CMS).

We hope this is a helpful way to think about it. Can you think of another great metaphor for these components of your web site setup? Let us know! Send us an email, or reach us on Facebook or Twitter.
