Learning Digital Marketing Efficiently 07:45

• A domain name serves as your website's address and establishes your online presence, which is crucial for building trust and brand recognition.

• A hosting account is essential for storing your website's files and content. When users access your website, it's the hosting account that delivers the information stored there.
