Web Hosting
Web hosting is a service that allows individuals or organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. Simply put, web hosting is a process of storing website files on a server connected to the internet, so that other people can access those files and view the website.
When a website is hosted on a web server, it becomes available to anyone who types its domain name (or IP address) into a web browser. The web server stores the website files, such as HTML, CSS, images, and videos, and serves them to visitors who request to view the website.
Web hosting companies provide various types of hosting plans, including shared hosting, dedicated hosting, VPS hosting, and cloud hosting. They also offer additional services such as domain registration, email hosting, and website builders to help customers build and manage their websites.
