Hosting (also known as website hosting, web hosting, and web hosting) is the business of hosting, storing and maintaining files for one or more websites. More important than the computer space provided for the files on the Web site is the fast connection to the Internet. Simply put, web hosting is the process of renting or buying space to host a website on the World Wide Web. Website content, such as HTML, CSS and images, must be hosted on a server so that it can be viewed online.
A web hosting provider is an organization that sells or leases memory space on its servers. Web hosting is usually done in a data center, which provides services to customers that allow them to publish websites on the Internet. A web hosting provider can also provide space in the data center and an Internet connection for servers owned by others. The service provided by a web hosting provider is called web hosting.
In France and Latin American countries, web hosting may be referred to as colocation or hosting.
