Website Hosting 101

What is hosting? This question gets asked a lot and we have an answer. Simply put, website hosting is the process of renting space on the World Wide Web to house a website. Every website you’ve ever visited is hosted. A hosting company, allots space on a server for a website to keep its files. Code, photos, and other website-related assets are made internet accessible through web hosting.

What is a server? A server is a computer that connects other online users to your website. Web hosting service providers, have the servers, connection, and related services needed to host websites. They cater to a wide range of hosting requirements, from small blogs to huge enterprises, by providing a selection of hosting options.
