Domain name won't work without hosting.
Hosting (also known as web host) can be referred as a computer that not only stores your website but - most critically - makes it possible for other people around the world to find your website on their computers.
More important than the computer space that is provided for website is the fast connection to the Internet. Most hosting services offer connections on T-carrier system lines, which is many times faster than the broadband Internet speed you use at home or at work. A person hosting his/her own website would require a similar connection and it would be expensive if he/she hosts the website at home. Hosting the websites at any commercial web hosts lets webmasters share the cost of a fast Internet connection with other websites.
A good hosting company also provides you the tools and email accounts you need to create your website, such as
Site Builder,
Contact Form Builder,
Blog,
Forum,
Guestbook, just to name a few.
