What is Web Hosting?
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations 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 clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation.
In simple terms you build a website on your computer using any of the numerous software packages available. You then find a Hosting company you like, see whether the Domain Name you want is available by using their search facility. If not keep trying different combinations until you find one that’s not gone. Once done proceed to open a Hosting account. This takes about 5 minutes. Once paid for the Hosting Company emails you with login details which will enable you to start moving your website from your computer up to their server. Once there the whole world will be able to see your website once they type in your domain name.
