When hosting providers distribute space on a web server to store their files, they host the website. Web hosting makes files containing websites (code, images, etc.) available for online viewing.
Every website you see or visit is hosted on a server.
The amount of space the server allocates to the website depends on the hosting type. The important and main types of hosting are shared, dedicated, VPS and resellers.
They differ depending on the type of technology used by the server, the level of management provided, and the additional services provided.
What is Web Hosting?
Web hosting is explained differently and is therefore not equally clear to everyone. What is web hosting?
Let's take a look at the Wikipedia definition: " web hosting is a service that provides individuals or businesses with space to store information, space, images, or other content that also can be accessed through a website." Beautiful, but what exactly does this say?
If you have a professional website , it will be on a server somewhere with access to the internet. This server, computer, hosts your website and makes it possible to access it via the internet. By everyone!. Preferably not.
We want to be able to keep out unwanted visitors or ensure that they cannot cause any damage. Websites are hacked every day. The security and safety of the server where you host your website is very important.
Your website must be available to your visitors and potential customers 24 hours a day. So there is a bit more to it than just space on a server.
When do you need hosting?
Web hosting is required if you want to create a website or if you want a professional email address with your domain name.

VPS hosting is not shared with other customers; the server’s storage, computing power, and memory are all yours. You can also choose which operating system you want to run on your VPS and you can run multiple websites on it.
Shared hosting
What is shared hosting? The most common form of hosting is ‘shared web hosting’, also known as web hosting. With this you rent a piece of storage and computing power on a server.
You share the server with other customers. Since others also use the same server, the monthly costs are also very low.

What is reseller hosting? Another form of hosting is reseller hosting . With this you rent a virtual server (VPS) with which you can offer hosting to your own customers.
You can then sell web hosting to customers without having to purchase your own server.
How web hosting works?
When the files that make up the website are uploaded from the local computer to the web server, web hosting is performed. The server’s resources (RAM, hard disk space, and bandwidth) are allocated to the websites that use it.
The division of server resources differs depending on the type of hosting plan selected. To choose the right hosting plan, you first need to distinguish the available plans.
This need not be complicated. For non-technical readers, let us use a simple analogy: choosing web hosting is similar to searching for office space:
How do you decide which type of office space suits your needs? Is a workstation sufficient in an open co-working space, or the next best thing: an office in a business center. Are you planning to expand quickly or are you expecting a lot of people to come and go?
Would you consider renting an entire building or building your own space?
In addition to the office style you use, there are other considerations. The ease of use of the room, what features it provides (extra facilities (such as whiteboards, high-speed Internet, and other facilities), as well as the location and total cost of the room.
These considerations will determine your needs and help determine which type of office is suitable You. Let us compare this selection process to decide which web hosting is suitable.
- Shared hosting is similar to renting workstations in busy, noisy, open-plan offices or co-working spaces. You have all the modern conveniences: a desk, internet connection and some fixed facilities, and you share the space with other colleagues (including kitchen, printer and toilet). You cannot make any modifications to the space, such as installing whiteboards. This is a popular choice to launch a small website, not suitable for large commercial projects.
- Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a great step for shared hosting. Medium-sized companies will benefit from renting offices in business parks. With VPS, users are isolated from each other. You have neighbors, but you don’t rely on them too much, you can make any transformation (customization), you like and organize your own workstations.
- The dedicated server is equivalent to hosting on the entire office building. This is a more expensive option, best suited for sites that value reliability and high performance. Since you control the entire space, you have more say in configuration and ample space, but if you don’t use the included space, it’s not worth the investment.

Web hosting and domain hosting
After purchasing a domain name, files containing website content (HTML, CSS, images, databases, etc.) need to be stored together in a location connected to the Internet (Web server).
Once the files of the website are uploaded to the web server of the hosting company, the host will be responsible for delivering the files to the users.
We mentioned that hosting makes the website accessible to people through their web browsers, but how does it work exactly?
The DNS ensures that the website browser is connected to the correct computer (server) where the website files are stored.
