Web hosting involves renting space on a server and bandwidth from a provider so that you can publish your website online where you have complete control over your site’s content.

A domain name is a word along with a top-level domain (.com, .net, .org, etc.) that uniquely identifies your website.

Subdomains are an extension of your domain. For example, your site is http://www.example.com A sub.domain would be test.example.com. Another would be webhosting.example.com. Subdomains are usually treated as separate from the main site.

You can upload your website files via the File Manager in CPanel, or by using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) applications, such as FileZilla and FireFTP.
