What is Web Site Hosting?
Short Version: Basically web hosting is like renting a storefront from a shopping mall except you don’t rent a bricks and mortar storefront, you are renting space on a computer for creating a “Virtual Storefront”. All your pages are stored and delivered to the visitor from the hosting server computer.
Long Version: A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers located in their data center, called colocation, also known as Housing in Latin America or France.
The scope of web hosting services varies greatly. The most basic is web page and small-scale file hosting, where files can be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a Web interface. The files are usually delivered to the Web “as is” or with minimal processing. [1] Many Internet service providers (ISPs) offer this service free to subscribers. Individuals and organizations may also obtain Web page hosting from alternative service providers. Personal web site hosting is typically free, advertisement-sponsored, or inexpensive. Business web site hosting often has a higher expense depending upon the size and type of the website.
Single page hosting is generally sufficient for personal web pages. A complex site calls for a more comprehensive package that provides database support and application development platforms (e.g. PHP, Java, Ruby on Rails, ColdFusion, or ASP.NET). These facilities allow customers to write or install scripts for applications like forums and content management. Also, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is typically used for e-commerce.
The host may also provide an interface or control panel for managing the Web server and installing scripts, as well as other modules and service applications like e-mail. Some hosts specialize in certain software or services (e.g. e-commerce), which are commonly used by larger companies that outsource network infrastructure.
Can I host my Web Site myself?
You could, but, there are a few requirements. To get your business on the Internet you will either: Buy a server, get a firewall, get a T1 line, buy and learn all the various server software required, and monitor the server to ensure that it is always up and running (24hours/day).
Then you will need to learn HTML, graphic design, Search Engine Optimization, keep up with Internet technology and the basics of Internet Marketing to make sure that your web site gets SEEN by your TARGET markets or pay a low monthly fee to have someone else take care of all that for you while keeping you informed of its progress.
