What is web hosting and why do you need it?
..............................................................................................................................................................
A web host is someone who makes it possible for everyone in the world to see your website.
They give your website a home on their servers, making sure your site is connected to the internet 24/7. They ensure that when someone types your domain name into a web browser, they find your website.
Basically, if you would like a website for your business, you also need someone to host it.
Many companies use technical jargon and make online solutions for your business sound a lot more complicated than they really are. What you really need to know is that our web hosting packages include the hosting of both the website and email for your business.
