What is a web host
| A web host provides you with space on a server on which to store your web pages so that they are viewable online to others. Web hosts are responsible for keeping the server (and your website) online, and also maintaining the server on which they are housed. Web hosts work to maintain the server by keeping software current, applying patches and security updates when necessary, and monitoring the overall health of the server hardware. Web hosts deal with the technical end of web hosting, providing both the equipment and the expertise to troubleshoot any problems that may arise. Your web host will work with you to answer any technical and support questions you may have. A web host is a provider of web hosting services. Web hosts can be as diverse as multinational telecommunications companies to small local businesses. Typically, web hosts will provide you not only with web hosting services but also technical support. Your website is stored on your web host’s webserver which maintains high speed connections to the internet. Anyone connected to the internet can view your website through your host’s web server. A web host is someone that provides hosting services to people like you. When you register a domain (yourcompany.com), you need a company and a server to “host” it. We provide you with that service and more. Simply sign up, telling us your domain name, and we are your web host. After a few standard processes, your website will be online for anyone to see. | |
