Web hosting is a service that enables websites to be made available to others on the internet. Web hosting providers store websites on their servers and ensure they can be accessed via the internet.
When someone creates a website, they need to host it on a web hosting provider’s server so that it is accessible on the internet. Web hosting providers offer various types of services, and prices and features may vary. Basic services usually include hosting, a domain name, data transfer and email services. Web hosting providers offering higher-level services usually include additional features such as backups, web applications, web statistics and dedicated IP addresses.
