what is website hosting?
If you are new to the world of web design, websites and the internet, or creating a website for your business for the first time, the process doesn't have to be confusing.
Web hosting or hosting is a service which we provide to business owners who want a website accessible on the internet Your actual website files are "hosted" on computers called servers, and when someone types in your domain name (www.yourdomain.com), a series of events happen between the following Services.
- Your Browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari and others)
- Your ISP (Internet Service Provider, like Time Warner, Comcast, etc...)
- Domain Registrar (Who you bought your domain name from)
- Your host (This would be our servers)
The end result is that your web page (a file on the server) is shown to whoever requested to see through their browser.
You see the whole process is pretty straight forward, if you want a website you will need hosting in order for people to see it on the internet. If you need hosting or are interested in learning more, contact us and we will help guide you through the process.
