Imagine you're looking to buy a house in the online world of the internet. A website is like the house you want to buy, And to build that house, you need some builders who will construct your house from scratch, design it, and will understand your feedback. The builders in this online world are called development agencies. Web development companies build your website either from scratch like a custom website or by using existing platforms like shopify and wordpress.
So coming back to the question, what is web hosting? Web hosting is like the land where your website resides. And just as you need land to build and support a house, you need web hosting for your website to place it on the internet, so that your customers can locate and access your website.
Web hosting is the process of renting or buying space to store your website on the Internet. This service makes your website’s content accessible online. So the next time someone types your website address, it's the responsibility of the hosting service to deliver your site to the user's device. Simple, isn't it?
