Web hosting refers to the service of storing and providing access to the files and data that make up a website on a server connected to the internet. When you create a website, it consists of various files, such as HTML, CSS, images, videos, and databases. These files need to be stored on a server and made available for users to access over the internet.
A web hosting provider is a company that owns and operates servers specifically designed to store and serve websites. When you sign up for a web hosting service, you essentially rent space on their servers to store your website files. The hosting provider takes care of the server management, maintenance, and security, allowing your website to be accessible to users at all times.
