You are right that people are confused. When I was a technical consultant for the website of the local Film Academy the head of the organization was asking me if the contractor of their website was scamming therm. There was an expense item under hosting and another in domain name. I had to explain that domain name is the fee for using a website name that the provider will add to their directory so the internet browser can find it. The hosting is the running of the website.

Domain is my company address, the bane of my company, the name people will use to find me, and while hosting is were all my content is hosted.
