Website hosting services are companies or platforms that provide the technologies and infrastructure needed for a website to be accessible on the internet.

In simple terms:

When you create a website, all its files (text, images, code, etc.) need to be stored somewhere. Hosting services store those files on servers and make sure people can access your site when they type your domain name in a browser.

Key Features of Website Hosting Services:

• Storage Space – For saving your website’s content and media.

• Bandwidth – Controls how much data can be transferred to visitors.

• Uptime – Ensures your site stays online as much as possible (often 99.9%).

• Security – Includes protection from hackers, malware, and data loss.

• Support – Technical help if your site has issues or needs updates.

• Email Services – Many hosts let you create email addresses using your domain.

Common Types of Hosting:

• Shared Hosting – Multiple websites share one server (low cost, good for beginners).

• VPS Hosting – More control and resources than shared hosting.

• Dedicated Hosting – You get an entire server to yourself (expensive but powerful).

• Cloud Hosting – Flexible, scalable hosting across multiple servers.

• Managed WordPress Hosting – Optimized specifically for WordPress sites.
