Web hosting is basically the housing of a website. When any website is created the content of that site such as written content, music videos, banners, images, borders and flash animations need to be placed at a storage facility which is usually provided by a vendor company. In order to make the website available for the visitors, it needs a web host.

Creating a website is not a difficult task and it can also be done at home using a computer. However, to make your website live on the internet, you need to upload the contents onto a server. A server is a powerful computer where you can store all your web pages. After storing the contents of your website on a server, anyone having your website address can easily locate and view your pages.

The company that provides the server for your website is your web host. After you sign up with the facility provider, you can easily update the contents on your site. Web hosting is a process that involves paid provision of computer space that is used for storage of websites and web pages. It also enables visitors to download the files and pages that are available on your website. This service is popularly known as provision of ‘bandwidth’.

Whenever any guest visits your website, that person can only access the data that is stored on the server. Therefore, there is data transfer where the act of a provision called ‘bandwidth’ comes into picture. In simple words, bandwidth is a measure of the data transfer rate over a definite period of time.
