Web Hosting Explained

Web hosting, or Internet hosting, allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website which is accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a web server they provide for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. A Web hosting company can be thought of as a type of landlord—they rent physical space on their web servers, allowing web-pages to be viewed on the Internet.

Importance of Good Hosting

If you are concerned about how well your website rankings in search engines your website must use a top quality host. Gone are the days of "free" or cheap web hosting where your website is crammed onto a web server overloaded with thousands of other websites.

Business websites who want to present a professional image and perform in a manner that communicates quality service need high quality web hosting.

Search engines are now using the speed and reliability of website hosting as a factor in the ranking of your website. You want a web host that has the latest equipment, 24/7 reliability ensured by a fail safe backup system, and prompt security monitoring and updates.
