What Is Web Hosting?

Web Hosting is the service of making ones web site visible for everyone on the internet. Simply put, your web site needs to be "hosted" somewhere to be seen by other viewers either via domain name or IP address.

When you get a Web Hosting account, you are given access to a portion of hosting company's web server. Once your account has been activated with your web hosting provider you simply upload your files using something like FTP or Microsoft FrontPage and your pages will be available for the world to see.

Many hosts, such as MySiteSpace offer added features to our web hosting service such as email, web site statistics, backup and restore functions, pre-installed scripts and more. Today there are over 15,000 web host providers offering everything from affordable budget hosting services to high end managed and dedicated services. Being a leader in budget hosting means offering a comprehensive and reliable plan at a great price.
