Let’s face it, you need a place to host your website. This is where your site is located and where users will go to visit your web page and its content (information, pictures, videos, products, etc.) Essentially, web hosting makes the files that comprise a website such as the code and the images available for viewing online. Every website you’ve ever visited is hosted on a server. This is very similar to the concept of renting a storage unit for storing physical items. Essentially, web hosting = storage provider.
Website hosting services are out there to take care of this in a super user-friendly fashion. These services allow individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients.
Many website hosting providers are offered, some of the more popular being GoDaddy.com, Network Solutions, Wix.com, webs.com, etc.
