    What is Web Hosting and how does it Work?

    Web hosting is a service that permits individuals and companies to publish a webpage or website on the
    Internet. Consequently, a web hosting service provider, or web host, is an organization that offers the
    services and technologies required for the webpage or website to be seen on the Internet. Servers are
    special computers that host or store websites.

    When online users want to view a webpage or website, all they have to do is enter the webpage address
    into their search browser. Their computer will subsequently connect to the server and the browser will
    display the webpage. Generally, web hosts expect that the client already have a domain name so as to host
    with them. However, the web host can assist the client in purchasing a domain name in case they do not
    have one.

    The Internet offers numerous web hosting options. To determine which one is right, consider how much
    of the following is needed:

     Data Transfer or Bandwidth – Data Transfer and bandwidth are not the same, despite what
    some web hosts say. Data transfer is the total amount of data actually transferred. Whereas,
    bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred at any given time. The lesser the
    bandwidth, the longer it will take for the website to load, irrespective of the visitor’s internet
    connection. The amount of data transferred determines how available the website will be to
    visitors.
     Server Root Control – is it imperative that you have control of the server?
     Storage Space – All web hosts propose a specified amount of storage space or disk space that
    can be used to store web files. It is suggested that you have an approximation of what you require
    for different tasks, for example, the amount of space required for databases, web files, and emails
    and so on. You can evaluate how much space you need by breaking down the usage.
     Cost – how much you need to spend or are willing to spend, keeping in consideration the
    abovementioned factors.
     FTP Access – FTP is procedure of downloading web files from the server onto the computer, in
    that, backing up website files. After the web pages or website have been created, the files are
    transferred onto the server by using FTP.
     Email Account – Email accounts are the most regular aspect of web hosting, particularly if a
    domain is being hosted. There are three primary types: forwarding, aliases and POP 3.
