What Is Hosting?

Web hosting is a service that stores your website or web application and makes it easily accessible across different devices such as desktop, mobile, and tablets. Any web application or website is typically made of many files, such as images, videos, text, and code, that you need to store on special computers called servers. The web hosting service provider maintains, configures, and runs physical servers that you can rent for your files. Web site and web application hosting services also provide additional support, such as security, website backup, and website performance, which free up your time so that you can focus on the core functions of your website.
