It seems pretty much right, although there are two possibilities if you
have a domain name:

 1. Domain hosting, as per your mail

 2. Managing your own server.

I don't think the term "domain host" applies to me,for exaple, even
though I run the servers that my domain is hosted on. So perhaps the
above is better phrased:

 1. Commerical domain hosting, as per your mail

 2. Alternative domain hosting (such as hosting it on your own server, a
 friend's server, etc)

I'll be running through this stuff in the last lesson.
