What is Web Hosting?
Web hosting is a service that allows individuals and businesses to make their websites accessible on the internet.
In simple terms:
👉 Web hosting is where your website “lives” online.
When you create a website, all your files (images, text, videos, code) need to be stored somewhere. A web hosting provider stores these files on a server and makes them available to users worldwide.
How Web Hosting Works
- Your website files are stored on a server
- A server is a powerful computer that runs 24/7
- When someone types your domain name into a browser, a request is sent to the server
- The server then delivers your website content to the user’s screen👉 Learn more about how the web works from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn
Example:
If someone visits your website:
- They type your domain (e.g., yourwebsite.com)
- The browser connects to your hosting server
- Your website loads within seconds
This process happens instantly, thanks to high-speed networks and optimized hosting systems.
