A web hosting service (often abbreviated to web host) is a type of internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible through the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide proprietary or leased servers for client use, as well as internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers located in their data centers, called colocations, also known as Housing in Latin America or France.
History
Until 1991, the Internet was restricted to using only "... for education in science and engineering and research ...", and was used for email, telnet, FTP, and USENET traffic -but only for a small number of websites. The World Wide Web protocol was written only and until the end of 1993, there would not be a graphical web browser for Mac or Windows computers. Even after some opening of Internet access, the situation was confused until 1995 [clarification needed].
To host a website on the Internet, a person or company will need their computer or server. As not all companies had the budget or expertise to do so, web hosting services started offering to host users' websites on their servers, without the infrastructure needed for the client to operate the website. was needed. Owners of websites, also known as webmasters, will be able to create a website that will be hosted on the web hosting service's server and published on the web by the web hosting service.
As the number of users on the World Wide Web grew, the pressure for companies, both large and small, to grow an online presence. By 1995, companies such as GeoCities, Angelfire, and Tripod were offering free hosting.
Classification
Smaller hosting services
The most basic is web page and small-scale file hosting, where files can be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a Web interface. The files are usually delivered to the Web "as is" or with minimal processing. Many Internet service providers (ISPs) offer this service free to subscribers. Individuals and organizations may also obtain Web page hosting from alternative service providers.
Free web hosting service is offered by different companies with limited services, sometimes supported by advertisements, and often limited when compared to paid hosting.
Single page hosting is generally sufficient for personal web pages. Personal website hosting is typically free, advertisement-sponsored, or inexpensive. Business website hosting often has a higher expense depending upon the size and type of the site.
Larger hosting services
Many large companies that are not Internet service providers need to be permanently connected to the web to send an email, files, etc. to other sites. The company may use the computer as a website host to provide details of their goods and services and facilities for online orders.
A complex site calls for a more comprehensive package that provides database support and application development platforms (e.g. ASP.NET, ColdFusion, Java EE, Perl/Plack, PHP, or Ruby on Rails). These facilities allow customers to write or install scripts for applications like forums and content management. Also, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is typically used for websites that wish to keep the data transmitted more secure.
