Overview

Web hosting is the underlying digital infrastructure that stores all your website files, images, code, and databases, making them accessible to visitors around the world via the internet.

Core Functions of Web Hosting

• Server Storage: A hosting provider allocates physical or virtual disk space on a high-performance computer (server) connected permanently to a high-speed network.
• File Delivery: When a user types your domain name into a browser, the domain directs traffic to your hosting server, which instantly processes the request and delivers your web pages back to the user's screen.
• Database Management: Hosts run server-side software (like MySQL or PostgreSQL) to store dynamic content, user accounts, and e-commerce records safely.
