Web hosting refers to the service that allows individuals or organisations to make their websites accessible on the internet. When you create a website, you store files and data that make up the website on a web server. A web server is a computer connected to the internet and designed to respond to web browsers' requests for website access.
Web hosting providers offer individuals and organisations the ability to rent space on their web servers. The web hosting provider is responsible for maintaining the web server, ensuring it is always available to serve the website, and providing technical support to customers.
Different types of web hosting services are available, including shared hosting, virtual private server (VPS) hosting, dedicated hosting, and cloud hosting. The type of web hosting you choose depends on your website's needs, traffic volume, and budget.
