Web Hosting: What's It For?
Article:
Let's say that you are all set to get your web site on the Web. You created all the necessary web pages for your site. You decided on the domain name you wanted and, by some amazing amount of luck that is only rivaled by winning the lottery, you were able to get it registered. Now you have to get it on the Web so people can see it. That's where web hosting comes in.

Web hosting is basically leasing space on a web server (provided by your chosen web hosting company) for your site to reside on and for people to visit. The web hosting company will provide all the necessary connections and configurations to get your site up and running. If you are among those that have or plan on having large volumes of traffic to your site, you may consider leasing a whole server for your needs instead of only a portion of a server. For most of us out there, a shared server will be sufficient.

Sounds simple, right? You may be asking yourself "Why don't I just use my own computer or set up my own server for my web site?". Well, you could, but it would require the technical expertise to maintain the web servers and specialized software necessary to keep it up and running. Not to mention the thousands of dollars required to purchase complex web servers and support equipment, the space needed to provide a secure, climate-controlled environment for optimal performance and security, and personnel to oversee it all.

In the end, for the vast majority, web hosting companies offer the best solution to getting their site on the Web. This is the most cost effective and, simply put, the easiest way for individuals to medium-sized business to get make their presence known all over the world.
