web hosting

Website storage service

Web hosting is the service of storing and serving website files so they're accessible on the internet.

A web host maintains servers that keep sites online around the clock.

Hosting ranges from shared servers (cheap, limited) to dedicated servers (expensive, powerful).

We pay fifty dollars a month for hosting.
