Web Hosting is a service that enables its users to post web content to the internet, including images, videos, html pages and other related files. The service allows its users to segregate content and assemble the pages of a website. It can also be referred to as Domain Hosting, Website Hosting or simply hosting.
The web host’s server posts the website pages and all of its related information on the internet, making them available to web users globally. A web server also performs other functions along with making the files available for internet users. The web server has various types of software installed on it that enables the website to run programs, create and manage databases, display videos and many other important functions.
The two main extensively used operating systems for hosting are Linux and Windows. Linux, which is an open source, is cheaper than the Windows operating system. Windows plans are generally costly because of the license costs imposed by Microsoft, its owner. Windows platform are easier to use because of its easy to use and understand interface, while Linux based Apache servers in comparison are harder to identify with. Windows platform is most suited when a user seeks to build a website with Windows applications, such as ASP, FrontPage, the.NET environment, Windows Streaming Media, Access, MSSQL, or any other Microsoft technologies
