In general, a DOMAIN is HOSTED. These two very different components are an integral part of showing your website to the public. A DOMAIN or Domain Name is the primary name given to the space allocated on the server that hosts your site.

You can add SUB-DOMAINS by using a prefix. Sub-domains can contain seperate parts of your main site, or sections independant of your main content. (Eg. shop.domain.com is the Online Shop for domain.com)
