Web hosting is the basic space you need to host your website. Your web hosting provider gives you a place on their servers to store your website files and make your website accessible to the internet. Visitors can access your website by typing in your site’s URL (Uniform Resource Locator).
Without web hosting, you would need a separate server to host your website and would need to pay for both the server + hosting. With web hosting, however, you share the costs of the server with other site owners who also use that server. This means that your site will be faster and more stable since it’s uses multiple servers instead of just one. It also means that visitors can access your site from anywhere in the world.
