What is web hosting and who needs it?
Web hosting, also known as website hosting or shared hosting, is one of the most popular ways through which individuals and businesses can build an online presence.
Shared web hosting is effectively a server (computer) split into many different private customer areas, with each area having its own space for files (web space) and ability to transmit these files (bandwidth). These areas are then accessible through a domain name (owned by the customer).
When you type in “www.domainname.com“, the website that appears is running on a web hosting platform.
