What Is Web Hosting?

A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows people and organizations to provide their own websites accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that will provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Webhosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation.

Disk Space - All hosting accounts offer a certain amount of disk space that you can use to store all your files. Exactly what is, and isn’t counted towards your disk space usage will vary from host to host; so make sure you check exactly what files you will need to allow for when deciding how much disk quota you will need.It would be a good idea to have some sort of estimates on what you need for various tasks. How much space will you need for storing your email, web files, databases and log files? By breaking down your usage like this it will be much easier to work out how much space you should go for (once you know exactly what files are counted towards your disk quota).
