What is the difference between hosting and deployment? Do web apps, android apps and websites get deployed or do they get hosted?

The process of moving code from your local computer to a public host (server) is called Deployment. It is basically putting out your project to the world so that people can use it.

Web hosting is a service provided by Web Hosts. Web hosts are companies that provide this service which includes:

  1. Web space for storing data of your website and
  2. Domain name

For Example : Netlify is a web hosting company and it is used for deploying static websites for free.

Deployment is phase of product lifecycle when software and data deployed , that is installed , delivered to environment, configured, etc. After that product enters in next phase - usage. And in this phase we can say that software and data is hosted. This steps can be repeated.
