What is Hosting?
Hosting (also known as Web site hosting or
Web hosting) is the business of housing, serving and maintaining files for one or more Web sites, and
providing Internet access (bandwidth). Hosting provides individuals or organizations with the systems
to store information, images, video, or other content accessible to users of the Web. In a sense, you
rent space on a computer to hold your Web site. Your host, the computer where your Web site files are
stored, assigns an address (DNS) for your files to your domain name so that anyone can find your Web
site on the Internet by typing your domain name.
