Service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the internet. When you create a website, all the content such as text, images, videos, and other files needs to be stored somewhere so that it can be accessed by people online. This storage space is provided by web hosting companies, who rent out servers to host your website.
Key aspects of web hosting
Types of Hosting
There are several types of web hosting, including shared hosting, VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting, dedicated hosting, and cloud hosting. Each type offers different levels of performance, security, and control.
Shared Hosting
Multiple websites share the same server resources, making it a cost-effective option for beginners or small/medium-sized websites.
VPS Hosting
Websites share a physical server but have their own dedicated portion of resources, offering more control and better performance.
Dedicated Hosting
A website has an entire server to itself, providing maximum performance and security, suitable for large websites with high traffic.
Cloud Hosting
Websites are hosted on a network of servers, allowing for scalability and reliability, as resources can be adjusted as needed.
