Web Hosting

A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website and web-based applications accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. Cloud computing has recently gained attention as a popular solution to the problem of scalability. With the availability of cloud computing services, customers are not concerned with the underlying technologies used to achieve the increase in server capability, and is sold simply as a service available on demand.
