Why Do I Need Website Hosting?
You need website hosting if you want to have an online website. Your website needs to be hosted somewhere on the internet. Think of website hosting as finding a home for your website. As a result you will buy or more commonly rent space on a server from a website hosting company to give your website a home. A website server is basically a large computer operating system.
What Are My Options?
In a nut-shell, there are two forms of website hosting available. The first is self-hosting, which is commonly used by large companies with larger budgets and managed hosting which is used by smaller companies.
Self-Hosting (Large companies)
Large Businesses Web Hosting:
Self hosting can mean a few things. The most basic form of self hosting is when a website is housed on your own server. In most instances this option would be for large businesses who have the money to invest in experts with the knowledge. As well as the skill set, to set up all of the required services within the server. Then perform security updates when required and troubleshoot when errors occur that could compromise the website security or functionality. On the other hand, benefits to self hosting on this scale, are that you have full control over the service you are essentially providing to yourself.
