A web hosting company can choose to provide a wide variety of services in addition to the basic web hosting functions. For instance, Freeservers provides useful tools for website creation and maintenance, including a website builder that makes creating a website easy for even the least technically savvy user. Freeservers also provides optional upgraded web hosting services such as statistics, search optimization, and POP mailboxes.

A web hosting company provides the web server and internet connectivity that allows your website to be available to anyone connected to the internet. Providing space on a web server is only the start of the benefits that web hosting companies can offer to their client.

What is Web Hosting?

If this is your first time building a website, then you might not know what web hosting actually is. Here’s a quick breakdown.

When you create a website, you essentially create a bunch of different files. These files need to be stored somewhere in order to be accessible on the Internet. You pay a hosting provider to “host” these files for you on one of their servers. This is the monthly fee that you’ll pay to a hosting company.

Hosting companies have collections of servers also known as datacenters. Beyond the servers, there are a lot of additional elements like backup power supplies, network connection equipment, security measures, air conditioning systems, and a lot more.

Best of all, when you host your files on a hosting company’s web server they’re available 24/7, so your website will always be accessible on the web.

Your web host is also responsible for things like server maintenance, keeping the software and hardware up to date, troubleshooting, and more. As you can see, there’s a huge operation behind getting your website online.

Web Hosting

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.
