Website hosting is the service that stores your website files (design, images, code, etc.) and makes them accessible on the internet. It involves:

1.    Servers:

o   Your website is stored on a server (a powerful computer that is always online)

2.    Domain Connection:

o   Hosting links your website files to a domain (e.g., yourwebsite.com)

3.    Types of Hosting:

o   Shared Hosting – cheap, for small sites

o   VPS Hosting – more resources, customizable

o   Dedicated Hosting – full server, high performance

o   Cloud Hosting – scalable, reliable

o   Managed Hosting – hosting with maintenance included (e.g., for WordPress)

Example:

Imagine your website is a store:

• Website design is how the store looks: signs, shelves, products, layout.
• Hosting is the land/building your store is built on—it keeps the store open and accessible to visitors.
