Frequently asked questions about Web Hosting

• What is web hosting?

  Web hosting is the service that allows your website to be accessible on the internet. Every website you visit is stored - or hosted - on a web server managed by a hosting company.

  Here's what defines web hosting:

  • It provides the online storage space your website files need to function
  • It keeps your site connected to the internet 24/7, so visitors can access it anytime
  • It includes essential tools such as email accounts, databases and SSL certificates for security

  In short, web hosting is the foundation that keeps your website live, secure and running smoothly online.

• What should I look for when choosing a web hosting provider?

  A web hosting service is a platform that stores your website data on a secure server and delivers it to users when they visit your domain.
