A domain name is very important, it is the address that your customers will use to view your online showroom, a good name is one that is easy to spell and ideally should be as short as possible although names can be upto 63 characters long. As the web has become very popular with businesses, chances are you will not get your business name as most popular names have already been taken. However with careful thought one can find an appropriate name that is still available.
Web hosting is the term used to describe the space that is taken on the machine that saves your website. A web server is connected to the internet permanently, and ideally should have a redundant means of accessing the internet. In other words it must always be accessible from the internet.
