What is Web Hosting?
Consider a common scenario. You’ve completed University, or some other form of post-secondary education, and decide to move out. Whether it be your parent’s basement, a dorm, or a shared house with some roommates, you’re simply sick of it. Well, let’s assume that this happens without you thinking ahead. Let’s assume that you’ve been kicked out. Well, now you have all of your things. Yes, you have loads and loads of things. What do you do? You can’t just leave them on the street. You have to find a home for them and yourself!
Hosting works in the same way. Simply put, it is the housing of your files on the internet. With web hosting, you are able have your own little living space of cyberspace. It is yours and yours alone, what you do with it is completely up to you.
Web hosting allows you to securely place your files on the internet, viewable by anyone whom has an internet connection. This allows you to reach a vast majority of clients, visitors and users. It appeals to a much larger group of audience, and you have a virtually infinite choice of target audience.
Web hosting is the process of which your files are stored on an internationally connected server. This server has an IP address, defined in the Name Servers, stored in your Domain Names. When your domain name is resolved, it contacts the Name Servers, checks the IP address, and directly contacts the server IP Address for your data. The data that is displayed to the end-user are the files you decided to “home” in the Web Hosting.
