What Is Web Hosting?
Web Hosting
Definition:
Web
hosting allows your Web site to be connected to the Internet at
high speed via a Web server so its information can be viewed globally
through a browser. Metaphorically speaking, renting space on a server
is comparable to renting an apartment. For a monthly fee, you reside in
that apartment and all maintenance is the responsibility of the
property. You also have access to certain amenities that would
otherwise be a costly investment. A Web
hosting company houses your Web site on its own secure servers,
enabling you to affordably leverage the power of a high-speed network,
24/7 expert monitoring and support, and state-of-the-art technology.
