A web host (or hosting provider) is a business/service provider that makes data storage and web servers available to website admins or owners. One of the pieces of data that's stored consists of the elements that will be made available on the web and viewed by internet users. The role of the web host is to install, secure, and keep web servers up to date, and also to develop the user interface and underlying technical infrastructure according to the needs of their users, following the release of new technologies, and in response to competitors. A web host isn't involved in the content stored on the servers or in the development of specific websites hosted on its servers.
