What is web hosting?
by Owen Mundy, July 1st, 2007
Web hosting is a service that provides a physical location for the files of a Web site. Users upload files to computers stored in secure and climate-controlled environments and permanently linked to the Internet through high-speed data lines. These computers store the Web pages that make up Websites. As soon as your pages are uploaded to the server they become available to visitors on the Internet - providing they have the correct address or domain name. (www.yourwebsite.com)
