Web Hosting
Written by Ms. Confuse on Friday, August 22, 2008Web hosting (also known as Web hosting, Web site hosting, and hosting) is the business of housing, serving, and maintaining files for one or more Web site. Web hosting is a service that provides online systems for storing information, images, video, or any content accessible via the Web. In short webhosting is a service relating to hosting a website on the internet. In order to have your site hosted on the web, you need to have the following three things:
• Website
A page or set of pages that is located under the same domain name. A web page is a computer document written in a publishing language called HTML. When an Internet user types in your web address, your web server sends the content of your web page to that user.
• Domain name
A unique text-based address used to locate a specific set of web pages. A domain name is made up of words and/or numbers plus a TLD (top level domain). The TLD for most businesses is ".com", non-profit organizations use ".org"; universities and educational sites use ".edu"; and sites involved with the U.S. government use ".gov". More TLDs are on the way, such as .biz, .pro, .name, .info, etc. Even in general use.
• Account
An account with a web hosting company, or a server of your own to host your website
