A domain registrar is the service through which you purchase your domain name. It is also the place where you manage DNS records.
A website hosting service is where your website is hosted.
Your registrar and hosting may, or may not be with the same company. Some companies like GoDaddy, Wix, and others, offer both services, or let you purchase one or the other.
What are the best options?
Here's where it can get interesting; there isn't a one-size-fits all configuration for everyone. What you need from your website, your budget, and other considerations can affect which set up(s) might be best for you.
Some variables to consider may include:
- certain domains may only be available from certain registrars, or many
- the programming language and/or framework of your website
- your security needs
- your country and locale, and that of the clients you service
- what functionality your website has (interactive content, simple landing page, complex website, blog functionality, etc.)
- and more
