( sometimes called internet site hosting, Web hosting, and Webhosting ), is the business of housing, serving, and maintaining files for one or more Web sites. More significant than the computer space that is provided for internet site files is the fast connection to the Net. Most hosting services offer connections on T-carrier system lines. Typically, an individual business hosting its own site would require a like connection and it'd be expensive. Using a web hosting service lets many corporations share the price of a fast Internet connection for serving files.

A number of Internet access suppliers, for example America Online, offer customers free space for a small site site that is hosted by one of their PCs. Geocities is a Web site site that offers registered visitors similar free space for an internet site. Whilst these services are free, they are extraordinarily basic.

A number of website hosting companies describe their services as virtual hosting. Virtual hosting often implies that their services will be transparent and that each internet site will have its own domain name and set of email addresses. In most uses, hosting and virtual hosting are synonyms. Some hosting corporations let you have your own virtual server, the appearance that you are controlling a server that is dedicated entirely to your site.

Dedicated hosting is the supply of a dedicated server machine that is dedicated to the traffic to your Web site. Only really busy sites require dedicated hosting. Many firms purchase their own servers and place them on a site that provides fast access to the Internet. This practice is called colocation.
