Introduction
Web hosting is the service that makes your website visible on the internet. Without hosting, your domain is just a name with no “house” attached to it. Hosting gives your site a home.
How It Works
When you purchase hosting, you’re renting space on a server. That server stores your website files, images, and databases, and delivers them to visitors when they type in your domain name.
Types of Hosting
- Shared Hosting – affordable, but you share resources with others.
- VPS Hosting – more power and flexibility for growing sites.
- Dedicated Hosting – your own server, best for large businesses.
- Cloud Hosting – scalable, pay-as-you-grow option.
Why Hosting Matters
The quality of your hosting impacts your site’s speed, uptime, and security. A slow or unreliable host frustrates visitors and hurts your SEO rankings.
Final Thoughts
Hosting is the engine of your website. Without a reliable host, even the best design won’t succeed. Start with the right plan, and your business is set to grow online.
