If you want other
people to view your web site, you must copy your site to a public
server. Even if you can use your own PC as a web server, it is
more common to let an Internet Service Provider (ISP) host your
site. What is Website Hosting: The term
hosting is generically used to describe a variety of services
necessary to support a web site. Hosting is done thorough the
help of computers known as servers. By creating a website and
putting all the files associated with the website on the server
connected to internet, anyone in the world can see your site
anytime.
How Web hosting works:
Web hosting allows your Web site to be connected to the Internet
at high speed via a Web server so its information can be viewed
globally through a browser. Metaphorically speaking, renting
space on a server is comparable to renting an apartment. For a
monthly fee, you reside in that apartment and all maintenance is
the responsibility of the property. You also have access to
certain amenities that would otherwise be a costly investment. A
Web hosting company houses your Web site on its own secure
servers, enabling you to affordably leverage the power of a
high-speed network, 24/7 expert monitoring and support, and
state-of-the-art technology. |
