Web hosting is a service that enables users to send Web pages to the Internet. A Web host, or hosting service provider (HSP), is a business providing the technologies and services needed for Web sites to be viewed on the Web. A special computer known as a Server is used to store and host web sites. Web hosting services are more beneficial as they are outsourced, that is the physical location of the Web server does not reside at the consumer's premises. Outsourcing your Web presence effectively transfers the responsibility for maintaining your Web site infrastructure from yourself to an organization that is more competent to do so.
