What Exactly is Web Hosting?

Web Hosting in the simplest terms is parking your website on the internet. An even similar way to think of it is, purchasing a car park in a building complex. Having a valet take your car(website) and park it in a car space (allocated server space). Once your website is made available on the internet, it can be accessed by other computers connected to the internet.

How Does it all Work?

Web hosts such as hosting-australia.com rent out their services and technologies to host websites on the internet. Once the hosting company hosts your website, users can access it by typing in your domain name in their web browser. When this domain name is typed into the user’s browser this connects the computer to a server your website is hosted on. The server then sends back files that are stored on the server to the user’s computer and displays it on your web browser.

Other hosting options
