What is web-hosting? In order for a web site to be
available on the World Wide Web, it must be hosted on a server. To set up your
own web servers and network infrastructure to host your website is very
expensive and beyond the means of most companies and all
individual users.
Due to this users use the
following options to host their
website on the internet:
|
Free web hosting: Provided by some free web hosting services such
as Geocities, or some ISPs such as AOL, Verizon, etc. |
Use a web hosting company. For a monthly
fee, such a company will host your site for you on its own servers. |
