Before we learn more on types of hosting, let’s first understand the meaning of the term “hosting”.

A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web.

Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center.

In simple words, it’s simply having space online to house your website and serve it to any visitors who come looking.
