A Simple Explanation of Web Hosting
A web hosting service is an Internet Website Hosting
service that allows individuals and organizations and
businesses to make their own website accessible via the
World Wide Web.
Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server
they own or lease for use by their customers providing
Internet connectivity. When you sign up for a web hosting
service you are renting space on a very sophisticated and
technically comprehensive computer network dedicated to
delivering your website to the world via the Internet.
Web hosting services varies widely. The most basic is web
page and small-scale file hosting, where files (web pages)
can be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a Web
interface. The files are usually delivered to the Web "as is"
or with little processing. Many Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) offer this service free to their subscribers. Personal
web site hosting is typically free, advertisement-laden, or
inexpensive. Business web site hosting often has a higher
expense and complexity.
Single page hosting is generally sufficient only for
personal web pages. A complex site calls for a more
comprehensive package that provides database support and
application development platforms. These facilities allow
the customers to install scripts for applications like forums,
chats and content management. For e-commerce, SSL
(Secure Socket Layer) is highly recommended.
The host may also provide an interface or control panel for
managing the Web server and installing scripts as well as
other services like e-mail. Some hosts specialize in certain
software or services (e.g. e-commerce). They are
commonly used by larger companies or organizations.
After your website has been successfully created, the next
step would be to find the right web hosting company to
host your website and make it visible to the internet users.
