Web Hosting. What is it you ask? Well to put it simply web hosting services are what allow you to bring your web pages, images, videos, databases and business applications live onto the Internet for others to access. Whether you have a business selling widgets with customers accessing your web site from all over the world or you want friends from out of town to be able to keep up to date on your life at your personal site, web hosting is what makes it happen.
Web Hosting is the storage of your data (Disk Space) on a computer/server and the delivery of the data to those who access it over the Internet (Bandwidth) i.e. visiting your website.
The Word Wide Web is an expansive collection of web sites, which are hosted on countless computers (called web servers) all over the world. The server where your web site resides is known as the “web host.â€
Web Hosting companies maintain web servers and provide both companies and individuals with the storage of their data and files and the delivery of their websites to those who access it. Each time you visit a web site, your browser retrieves all of the images and files associated with it and downloads the site to your computer so you can view it. By signing up for a hosting plan with a web hosting provider you are given a personal account which allows you to upload files onto a web server making them assessable over the internet.
