What Is A Web Hosting?

Web hosting is the activity or service of providing storage space to individuals or organizations for the websites that are accessible via World Wide Web. Web hosting is a huge industry with close to a billion websites currently online and millions of people all over the world accessing the internet. The website hosting process can be intimidating and confusing at first, but once you get your head around it, you will understand how it works. To start with, let’s cover some new terminology. You might have heard different terms used to describe the process, such as: web hosting, website hosting, site hosting, blog hosting, self-hosting etc. They all mean the same thing. There is server space where your website’s files are stored and you have complete control over it. Note: Hosted website or Blog. These terms are different from what is called “web hosting.” In this case, the hosting and most of its related functionalities are done by the third party company. You usually get the tool or software to create your website but are restricted to the functionality offered by that company. Another downside of the hosted solutions is that you can’t move your website anywhere else and it could be difficult to expand. For any website to be available online, it has to be stored on a server computer that is connected to the Internet. That server where you store your website is your host. The host could be anywhere in the world but it has to have these simple things: Power, Internet connection, and a Dedicated IP address.
Web Host Services or Companies

A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website or web page to be viewed on the Internet. Websites are hosted, or stored, on special computers called servers.

When Internet users want to view your website, all they need to do is type your website address or domain into their browser. Their computer will then connect to your server and your webpages will be delivered to them through the browser.

Most hosting companies require that you own your domain in order to host with them. If you do not have a domain, we can provide assistance and guidance on how to get a domain and get your site up and running on the internet.
