• Hosting is a "Home" for Your Website
A website is basically made up of one or several HTML pages that are linked together. Just like your .doc file you created in Microsoft Word would be saved on your local server, (your own personal computer), so HTML pages need to reside on a server or computer somewhere in the world.
When a website is called up in a browser, the website or HTML pages are called up from that server somewhere in the world that is “hosting” your website to be displayed on the browser.
Since hosting a website requires resources such as memory, bandwidth, backup generators, service technicians, etc., most companies charge you a small monthly or annual fee for hosting.
