Many people have the question, “Why do I need web hosting, when I buy a domain isn’t hosting included”. The answer is no, hosting is not typically included in a domain registration. You need web hosting because web hosting is a physical place for your web site to sit and for people to be able to access it. Your domain registration is just for the name on the internet. When you purchase a domain name, you are redirecting that name to your (Physical) web hosting account, and that is all. If you actually want a web site to be accessible then you need a separate web hosting package.
