  What is Web Hosting?


A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web(www). 

How Does Web Hosting Work?

When you want to start a business in the real world, you need a physical location to set up, store, and sell your products. The same rules apply in the digital world when setting up a website.

When you set up an online business, you have a series of files, images, and HTML code that make up your website. These files take up space and need a place to live. Without an online home, your files would just sit on your computer and no one would ever see them. A hosting provider will provide a place on a webserver to store all of your files and are responsible for delivering the files of your website as soon as a browser makes a request by typing in your domain name.

When you pay for hosting services, you are simply renting storage space on the internet — just like you would rent a physical store for your business.

How to Choose a Hosting Provider

When selecting a provider it is important to consider the different types of hosting services that are offered. Here are a few things to consider when determining where you would like to host your site.


  • What type of website are you building? eCommerce, blog, portfolio, etc.
  • Based on the type website, what is the bandwidth needed to run your site.
  • Can you create email addresses for your domain?
  • What type of hosting options are available?
  • Do they provide SSL Certificates?

After choosing a hosting provider, completing your domain registration is easy! Often times your web host can also be your domain registrar.
