Hi
I would like to give you some info regarding Web hosting.
Web hosting is something like your computer hard disk, providing a storage to your files.
What is different from the computer hard disk is, the hard disk is located inside a server computer and the server computer is connected to the internet.Whenever a user, like us request a file (web page) the server computer will fetch the files to our browser like IE and Firefox.

Thank you,
william

A web host is a company that has computers that are hooked up to the internet 24/7. These computers are called servers and they are assigned IP numbers in order that they may be found by other computers hooked up to the internet. It is on these servers that all your web files are stored, be they HTML files (web pages), graphic files, CSS files, Javascripts or whatever.

Web hosting is a service which allocates space for customers to showcase their websites on computer servers that are connected to the Internet 24/7.

Servers are powerful computers that have extremely large hard drives, or an array of hard drives. Space is then rented to those who want a "website presence" on the Internet.

Every server on the Internet has a unique numerical IP (Internet Protocol) address. You can think of servers as apartment buildings with unique addresses. Each apartment unit within each building is equivocal to space rented out for individual websites. And like real apartment buildings, each unit also has an address based on "the building" in which it is located.
