Web hosting

What is web hosting?

Web hosting is a service that allows people to make their websites available through the World Wide Web.

Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server. They can in some cases also provide internet service. Many offer services such as online stores and selling tools which can assist in selling products from a site. Most have access to domain name registration which is optimal for killing two birds with one stone. Some offer site building tools which can make the website building process much easier.                                

            Your web host is probably one of the most important aspects of getting started with your online business. A web host provides you with the possibility to make your site professionally compatable. A really good web host will normally cost money to access. This is one of the first, most important investments in starting an internet business. Generally a web host will charge annually for their service and and/or support. There are free web hosts that are not too bad for the price and can handle most of your website needs but there may be some missing features and services.
