Hosting refers to the service of providing storage space and access for websites or applications on servers connected to the internet. When a website is hosted, its files, databases, and resources are stored on a server managed by a hosting provider, making the site accessible to users worldwide. Hosting services can range from shared hosting, where multiple websites share the same server resources, to dedicated hosting, where an entire server is allocated to a single client. Reliable hosting ensures website uptime, security, and performance, forming the backbone of any online presence.
