What is Web Hosting in a Nutshell?
| Website Builder
Imagine your website is a house that you want to build in a neighborhood. In order for people to visit your house, it needs to be located somewhere accessible, right? Website hosting is like renting space in that neighborhood for your house (website).
When you create a website, all the files that make up your website (like HTML, CSS, images, videos, etc.) need to be stored somewhere so that when someone types in your website's address (URL) into their web browser, they can access those files and see your website. This is where website hosting comes in.
A web hosting provider is a company that owns and manages servers. These servers are powerful computers that are connected to the internet 24/7. When you sign up for a hosting plan with a provider, you're essentially renting space on one of their servers to store your website's files.
Just like renting a house, you pay a fee to the hosting provider for this service. Depending on the type of hosting plan you choose, you may have different levels of resources and support available to you.
Once your website is hosted, it's accessible to anyone with an internet connection. When someone types in your website's address, their web browser sends a request to the server where your website is hosted, and the server sends back the files that make up your website. This allows visitors to see your website in their browser.
In summary, website hosting is like renting space on a server where all your website's files are stored. It's what makes your website accessible to visitors on the internet.
