Domain and hosting are two different things which are important to create a website. Many people confuse regarding these two . Can you tell what is different between domain an hosting in simple words?
Domain is important for website for the main reason: Even you have a free blog at blogspot then a blog without a domain is untrustworthy by some advertising platform so it is required before advertising your platform to book a domain name.
So domain is important either you use a ready CMS or you will devellop your own VPS programmation like python or ruby or rails or reactjs or vuejs.
Hosting could be different so there is hosting for cloud or VPS or drive hosting so not all kind of hosting are for website develloppmenet for example drive hosting for host your files in external storage online (like Google Drive or Dropbox).

I usually think of it this way.

The domain name is the name of your house that you give it to stand out.

The hosting is the house itself, being managed by someone, but it's where you do everything that goes on your site.
Domain is the identity or the name of a particular website address. Hosting is said to be the container that is holding the contents of the website. It just the address of a business and the shop or office where the business situated.

If you have about $30 to spare you can buy domains and hosting for the first year. If you work hard n your website, I think you can easily recover your investment in the first year.

Hmm, that's very encouraging indeed paying $30 a year on my website domain and hosting. Then work very hard as you said to recover.
 
Domain or domain names is a string of letters and numbers that are used to name organisations and addresses in the internet. While hosting is a computer that provides client station with access to files and printer as shared resources to a computer network.
 
A domain name is the name which your website will be bearing. While the hosting I'd the storage that will contain some of the things you will put on your websites. Both have to work in hands to make a website.
 
Think of this analogy. You have a name and home address. So your name is like domain name. And your home address is like hosting. So anything you want to do at home is stored at home. And your postman and the delivery man are pointed to the home address. Same goes for the domain and the hosting account there.
I think this is the best answer so far because it tell all that we need to understand about the domain and host because this example along is enough to convince anyone.
 
In simple terms, imagine you sell used cars, or you're known for selling used cars; that has somewhat become your identity. It's what a domain is, your identity in the web space.
But you need a place to sell your used cars, so what do you do? You get an office space or a space generally so you can have your cars on display. That's what hosting is, it gives you a place to display your identity (domain).
