What Exactly Is Web Hosting?
If you are a business, information provider, directory of resources or just want to share data - personal or otherwise on the internet, this needs to be contained in one accessable place. You need a web site and own a place in cyberspace to keep it.

Web hosting grew out of the need to supply the internet users with the ability to own (or rent) an area of cyberspace, without costing them a fortune to do so. Web Hosts created great areas (almost like plots of land) which they could then split into smaller pieces and let their users share them.

The web host gives you an area to place all your files, and data, an email server so you can send and receive emails. They also give you an address (domain name - url) so that people can find your web address in their browser and send you emails at the address as well.

For your part you beome a member or tenant of thye web hosting company you go with and agree to their terms and conditions. It is exactly the same principle as if you were renting a flat or house.
