What is Web Hosting? Every Thing Explained for Beginners

What is Web Hosting?
Web hosting, in simple terms, is a process or technology, which allows your website and its contents, to be accessible on the internet. A web host is a service provider that supplies your website with a location and storage space, on the internet, and maintains the storage contents on your website. Through the hosting service state of art control panel and GUIs, you gain administrator access to manage your website.
So technically speaking, without a web host for your website, your site cannot function at all. You can however employ the services of a web hosting server or, host your website yourself, if you know how to.
What is Shared Hosting?
Imagine you wanted to go to the mall, but, you don’t want to spend so much on gas, or take the taxi, so you opt for the cheaper option – the bus. Shared hosting is quite similar to this scenario. It involves the web hosting service provider supplying multiple websites a location, to store their sites’ contents and data.
There is a sharing of resources by the different websites hosted. These resources include; the CPU, memory, and the disk space. It is simply a process where multiple accounts are built on a server and then given to different individual websites or domain names.
Shared hosting is a less expensive way for start-ups and small businesses to build an internet presence. It is also a most efficient way for these businesses to get moderate traffic with the most minimal resources available.
How Does Web Hosting Work?
After choosing the right web hosting service provider, the web host assigns your domain to a server. You are then given a unique address which allows visitors access to your website. Their server, on which your website is on, connects to your visitors’ computer and sends them the data and files stored on your website.

The resources of a dedicated server are used by the subscribed client alone, while a VPS functions as a platform for shared resources. The VPS acts like a lone server with multiple other servers working within it.
