What is Web Hosting?

Now that you have an address (see domain article) for your home, the next step is setting up essential utilities like electricity and water to make the house livable. This is where web hosting comes in.

Web hosting provides the storage and resources needed to keep your website running. Just as a house needs power, water, and plumbing, a website requires hosting to store its files, manage emails, and serve visitors efficiently. Without web hosting, your website is just an empty address with no structure. Hosting ensures your site is accessible, fast, and secure.
