What is Web Hosting?

All about web hosting

So, in our previous post we have discussed about what a domain name is and how to register a domain in our name.

Now if we wish to build a website on our domain name, how do we proceed? This is where web hosting comes into the picture.  


The provision of storage space and other resources on servers with internet connections is referred to as web hosting. It enables people, companies, and organizations to open up their websites to visitors all over the world. 

Once we purchase a web hosting service from any provider we must assign our domain name on it. On assigning you will get an option to either install WordPress on it or build a website using any builder tool. 

Now let's discuss a bit about what WordPress is.

WordPress is a popular and widely used open-source content management system for creating and managing websites and blogs. It was initially released in 2003 and has since grown into one of the most dominant platforms on the internet. WordPress is built using PHP and uses a MySQL database to store content and configuration settings.


Ok so now that we are done with introduction, lets see some of the popular Web Hosting providers!

  Three main types of web hosting So, in the previous post we discussed about what a hosting plan is and who are some of the good hosting providers in the market. Today, lets discuss about the different types of hosting plans . Shared hosting:  Multiple websites are hosted on a single physical server with shared resources like CPU, RAM, and storage space under a shared hosting model. While each website in this hosting environment has its own distinct directory for storing files and data, they all share a single server's resources to run their programmers and provide web pages to users. So, in simple terms, you will be owning your own hosting account but on the back end or server end, the same server will be used by hundreds of other users too.  This is the reason shared hosting prices are so cheap. But this won't be an issue at all for beginners like you and me. Even for small scale businesses like an online bakery store, shared hosting would be s...
