What is Web Hosting?

Renting space on a server is comparable to renting an apartment. For a monthly fee, you reside in that apartment and all maintenance is the responsibility of the property. You also have access to certain amenities that would otherwise be a costly investment. A Web hosting company houses your Web site on its own secure servers—enabling you to affordably leverage the power of a high-speed network, expert monitoring and support, and state-of-the-art technology.
