'Hosting' is a modern loanword from English (an Anglicism). Like many English words ending in '-ing' that describe a service or process, it is used in German as a neuter noun with the article 'das'.
Das Hosting für meine private Homepage ist zum Glück nicht sehr teuer.

This word is a technical term from the field of information technology (IT) and the internet. It is hardly used outside this context.

Common combinations are 'ein Hosting-Paket buchen' (to book a hosting package), 'Hosting anbieten' (to offer hosting), or 'das Hosting für eine Domain' (the hosting for a domain). It is often combined with adjectives such as 'schnell' (fast), 'sicher' (secure), or 'günstig' (affordable).

domain
'die Domain' and 'das Hosting' both belong to the topic of websites and the internet. But they do not mean the same thing. The domain is the name or address under which you find a website, for example a name with .de or .com. Hosting is the storage space and technical service that make the website accessible on the internet. Learners easily confuse the words because when creating a website, you often buy both together. In practical terms: the domain is the address, and the hosting is the space for the website.
