Web Hosting

Web hosting is the service that provides a physical location for your website. The site is held on a series of computers (servers) which are connected to the internet permanently via a high speed connection. In simplified terms, when a visitor connects to your website, their computer connects to the hosting server via the domain name which then sends the web pages back the visitors computer for display. Amongst many other things, the hosting server also takes care of delivering email for your domain name.
