What Is Web Hosting
In short, a web host is the remote computer that is setup as a server and is connected to the internet. Hosting companies provide servers that are setup to perform optimally for most websites and that are connected to the internet via a powerful network. Most web hosting companies also offer domain name registration services as part as their offering - a domain name is like a phone number that "points" to your specific server that hosts your website. When you type in your domain name in your web browser address bar, you are basically sending a request to your server, which loads your website in return!
There are 2 options available when it comes to choosing a good web hosting service: Using A "Fully Managed" Hosting Service or Getting Your Own Web Hosting Service.
