Web hosting is a service that provides a place for you to publish and store your website. Hosting is created using servers which are computers connected to the internet 24 hours a day. Your website folders, files and images are uploaded to your storage area using file transfer protocol (ftp).
A customer may need to evaluate the requirements of their website, and the technology it uses (or is intended to use), in order to decide what kind of hosting they require. Such considerations include database server software, scripting software, and operating system. Typically, hosting is purchased in yearly amounts from 1 to 5 years. Some hosting plans have unlimited storage while others may charge a premium for additional storage space.
