Web Hosting Basics

Hosting is the ‘place’ on the web where your site is located and being delivered to its audience.  The Internet is not magic. Your site is on a computer somewhere. When you go to a Web site by way of its address (URL) in your browser, you’re contacting a host, which then makes a request for the page to be displayed by its Web daemon. There are several types of hosting available: free (managed), shared, VPS and dedicated.
