Ever Wondered What Website Hosting Is?

Well here is the answer in a nutshell...

The internet is made up of millions and millions of computers that are linked together.  Some of these computers are permanently linked to each other (24 hours, 7 days a week) while other computers are only linked up temporarily (typically when personal users logs onto the internet via dial-up or broadband modems).

Most of the major computers or server systems that are permanently connected to the rest of the world, in general, will rent out space on their hard drives to anyone who wants to save information (like websites) on these computers to have it available to the rest of the world 24 hours, 7 days a week.

The renting out of this disc space is in short defined as Web Hosting or Website Hosting.
