Web hosting is a service that allows individuals and businesses to publish a website on the internet. Think of it like renting space on a server where all your website’s files, images, and data are stored. When someone types your website address (domain name) into a browser, the web hosting server delivers your site’s content to them.
Types of Web Hosting:
-
Shared Hosting – Multiple websites share the same server resources. It’s budget-friendly but can be slower if one site gets too much traffic.
-
VPS (Virtual Private Server) Hosting – A middle ground between shared and dedicated hosting, where you get a portion of a server’s resources.
-
Dedicated Hosting – A whole server just for your website. It’s powerful but more expensive.
-
Cloud Hosting – Your website runs on multiple connected servers, making it more scalable and reliable.
-
Managed Hosting – The hosting provider handles technical maintenance, security, and updates for you.
-
WordPress Hosting – Specifically optimized for WordPress websites, often including pre-installed plugins and security features.
