Let us learn something basic about websites by using my website as an example.
CMS (CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) – A platform to manage the contents of a website. Popular names include WordPress, Shopify, Joomla, Drupal and many others.
My website is made with the CMS WordPress, it the most popular. You can see in the picture how the dashboard of a WordPress Website looks like.

TOP-LEVEL DOMAIN (TLD) – The end part of a domain is the TLD. The most common is the .com. There are many others like .org, .shop, .online, .xyz, .bd and the list keeps going.
HOSTING – In simple terms, it is the purchase of a portion of a server to save the details of a website. There are many hosting companies available. Namecheap, bluehost, Hostinger, Hostgator and many others.
I used Hostinger to purchase both my domain and hosting.
