What's the difference?
A domain name gives you an�unique Internet name which allows you to point to your website and it also allows you to have your own unique email address.
Having a server that run web services and email services is not enough, all servers are identified with an Internet Protocol (IP) address which are all numbers, for eg. 120.50.40.40. However,�we don't�want to tell our friends to visit our website at�http://120.50.40.40, because that's too tedious -- so we use domain names.
With a domain name, you can uniquely identify yourself and share your website address with people more conveniently. Try this, "Hi Albert, check out my website at�http://www.twopiz.com".
Now after you�registered�a domain name, why is it not working? Its going to nowhere currently,�because a domain is simply a Internet address that�is being represented. You will need a server for your domain to point to. Depending on individual needs, the server can be setup to serve various services like web services, email services, database services and so on.
A hosting account that Twopiz provide will allow you to show case your webpages, use your unique name to send and receive emails, and host database driven websites. Our servers are�equipped with all the relevant services to get your website and email going.
Right here at Twopiz, if you purchase only a domain name, but do not require a webhosting account, we can provide you domain forwarding and email forwarding, simply write in to us.
