 ?What is Web Hosting

Web hosting is a place where people store their websites.

Think of it as a house where you store all your pets; but instead of storing your clothes and furniture, store computer files (HTML, documents, images, videos, etc.) in a host.

More often than not, the term "web hosting" refers to the company that rent their computers / servers to store your website (hence the word, the host) and provide Internet connectivity for computers can access files on your website.

Normally, when we talk of web hosting, the term "web hosting" means the server hosting your site or the hosting company who rent server space for you; when talking about data center, we mean the plant that is used to house servers.

A data center could be a room, a house or a very large building with redundant power supplies or backup redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (eg, air conditioning, fire suppression) devices and safety.

Generally, there are four different types of web hosting: Shared, Virtual Private Server (VPS), Dedicated and Cloud Hosting.
