What is Web hosting? Every Website needs a home. Web hosting provides a place for your Website to live on a server with a web host. The web host can be paid web hosting and non-paid web hosting. Unless you have a personal blog and don’t mind ads on your Website, you’ll want to go with paid web hosting as a place to house your website.
