What is Web Hosting - Very Basic Overview
By: Jeremy Martinez
A web hosting company provides a service that allows individuals and businesses to host web pages to the internet. A web hosting service provider a service to host domains to view web-sites on the internet.
Web hosting services use hosting and client architecture to load content to the server so web pages and information can be viewed on the internet in its original HTML format.
A web hosting company offers clients access to a server that will host the clients’ content to individuals on the World Wide Web. To view pages on the web, you must have a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, FireFox or Google's Chrome to request the web page from the server.
Web sites are pages that are stored on a computer called a server. The server is a part of a network of computers on the internet or World Wide Web that allows users of the internet to reach your site anywhere in the world at anytime. The internet is open 24 hours, seven days a week around the clock.
Web Hosting computers are configured so that when your URL or domain name is typed in, the address will use a pointer routine (look for the address from terminal to terminal) until it reaches the computer that hosts your web-site. Then, if all is okay, your web site should display itself on the users screen.
Hosting companies require that you buy your URL or domain name first before you purchase hosting services. Most hosting companies have a package that will allow you to buy the domain name and hosting at the same time.
