Web hosting When you make a website and want other people to see it, you will need to publish (or upload) it with a web hosting service. Web hosting is the service that makes your website available to be viewed by others on the Internet. web hosting services work by storing your website files in high-powered computers (web servers) connected to a very fast network. When someone types in your web address (such as www.zolute.com), the Internet connects to the web server holding your website files and then transfers your website information back to their computer. From there they can surf and view the pages of your website. There's different types of web hosting Shared hosting- Shared hosting is a service where one server is shared between many customers. Dedicated hosting-you get your own server and all its resources, dedicated to you for your use and no one else. It's the difference between living in an apartment building and sharing that building with others, compared to living in your own mansion.
