Web Hosting
So, What Is Website Hosting?
Website hosting is basically the service that puts your website on the Internet so everyone can see it. Think of it like renting space online to store all your site’s stuff—like pictures, videos, and pages—so people around the world can visit whenever they want.
How Does Website Hosting Work?
When you build a website, you have lots of files—HTML, images, and other things—that need a place to live. Hosting companies run big computers called servers that are always on and connected to the Internet. These servers hold your website and send it out to anyone who types in your web address.
So, when someone wants to check out your site, they put your domain name into their browser. Their computer finds the server where your site lives, and the server delivers all your website’s files straight to their screen.
Different Kinds of Hosting
- Shared Hosting: Lots of websites share the same server. It’s affordable and perfect for small sites or newbies.
- VPS (Virtual Private Server) Hosting: One server is split into several smaller “virtual” servers, giving you more control and flexibility than shared hosting.
- Dedicated Hosting: You get a whole server to yourself, which means top performance and security—great for big or busy websites.
- Cloud Hosting: Your site is stored on a bunch of servers working together (“the cloud”). This makes your site super reliable and easy to scale up when you need it.
Why Does Hosting Matter?
If you don’t have hosting, your website can’t be seen online. Good hosting helps your site stay up and running smoothly, makes sure it loads fast, and keeps your visitors safe. Picking the right hosting service is a big part of making sure your website does well and stays secure.
