The activity of housing, serving, and managing files for one or more Web sites is known as hosting (also known as Web site hosting, Web hosting, and Webhosting). The quick Internet connection is more crucial than the computer capacity allotted for Web site files. The majority of hosting providers provide connectivity over T-carrier system lines. A similar link would typically be necessary and pricey for a single company running its own website. Many businesses can split the cost of a quick Internet connection for serving files by using a hosting provider.

Many Internet service providers, including America Online, give customers free hosting for a modest Web site on one of their machines. A website called Geocities provides registered users with equivalent free web space. These services are completely free, but they are also incredibly simple.

Virtual hosting is a term used by many hosting firms to describe their services. Virtual hosting typically implies that each Web site will have its own domain name and set of e-mail addresses and that their services will be transparent. Virtual hosting and hosting are frequently used interchangeably. Some hosting providers allow you to have your own virtual server, giving the impression that you are in charge of a server that is solely dedicated to your website.

The deployment of a dedicated server machine solely for the traffic to your website is known as dedicated hosting. Only heavily trafficked websites need dedicated hosting. Many businesses buy their own servers and set them up on a location with quick Internet access. Colocation is the term for this method.
