WEB HOSTING 101

Next to your domain name, web hosting is the most important thing for your transition into an online presence.

Web hosting is a solution that allows your business or idea’s website be published onto the internet. As mentioned in our post Domain Names And Why You Should Have One, a domain is comparable to your street address. Web hosting is the plot of land you purchase to build your house on. 

A web hosting provider specializes in providing the technical services needed to host your website. Your website is stored on our servers. When someone types your domain into their browser it will redirect them to your “plot of land” on our server.
