Web hosting, also known as “online” or “internet hosting” is a service that consists of a disk space to put your website online, so that it can be permanently accessed on the internet.
Most people understand the basic principles of setting up a small business – establish an appropriate business name, rent a shop space, move in, and decorate.
Web hosting is not much different. A registrant establishes a domain name, leases a block of server space, and uploads their webpage. Very quickly, anybody with a connection to the Internet can start browsing the site.
A domain name provides the address of the server, while the server is a rented space into which the data that make up the webpage is stored. This process is known as delegation — the domain name points to the specific hosting account on the particular server.
The server’s main job is to ‘serve’ files to the web browser that made the request. And in the same way as property is managed by a landlord, the server is managed by a web host.
