What is web hosting all about? Phew! Took us lot of time Google‘ing internet definition to deeply and shortly answer this question. Let us keep this short for you.
Easy To Understand – What is web hosting?
Well, web hosting is simply a host, a place for you to put your website, so that it become available online in the internet, viewable by internet users all around the world.
An Example
Let say, you want to create a website. You named it, mywebsite.com. After finished creating the website, you want to upload it to the internet so that internet users are able to see your website. This is where web hosting play the role.
Web hosting serves as a web space, a directory which all time connected to the internet. After you create a website, you purchase a web hosting account and domain name of mywebsite.com, upload the files (web page) you created to the web hosting, and your website goes online instantly, available viewed like any other website in the internet.
And why do I need to have domain names?
Web hosting is just a storage space for you to put files in the internet. However, you also need a domain name for your website so that internet users are able to visit your website.
Easy To Understand – What is domain? (Again..)
Just imagine that you have a house. To be able for someone, your friends or relatives to visit your house is by knowing the address of your house. If they didn’t know what is your address, then they’ll not able to come to your house.
Same goes with web hosting and domain. Imagine web hosting as your house and domain as your address in this case. Domain name is the address, the link where visitors are able to come to your website when the entered the ‘address’.
Both are different thing, but both are required to have a website online in the internet.
