What do you mean by web hosting?
If you want to create a website on the Internet, the first
thing that you need is a Web Server. However, owning a web
server is a very expensive affair; moreover, it needs a huge
amount of technical expertise that most of the businesses
cannot afford. It is in this situation that a web hosting
company or a web host comes in. These companies supply all the
relevant equipments and technical knowledge and skills that
are required. The web hosts thus provide space on a server
(that they own) as well as internet connectivity to their
clients.
Thus utilizing the services of a web host is much cheaper than
owning your personal server and definitely free from hassles.
