What is web hosting?

Web hosting is required to get your website online. It is the space that you ‘rent’ which houses your web files and allows users to access your site and the information contained on it. Every single website that is online has a host server, and almost all use a web host to manage that storage. Not all web hosts provide the same level of quality, though. Uptime, data speed and quantity of transfer are the best measures of a host’s success. You can often pay more to get data transferred in higher quantities, faster.
