Hosting

Internet users can access to a website when all the files constituting the site are online, which means that a Webmaster using a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software has put these files on a web server.
A web server is a computer transferring files on the Internet. It works all the time, it is always connected to the web without any interruption. On the server are installed software like most often HTTP – Apache, a database management system, a mailbox, security software, and so on.
The hosting is the rent of a server space disk where website files are located.
A free hosting do not guaranty the website works perfectly well. Freely hosted sites are full of unsolicited ads ruining the page setting. It’s the reason why hosting has to be paid to avoid all these inconvenient and to have the guarantee of a good maintenance during all the hosting time. The paid hosting is the guarantee the site you paid for is still online and works perfectly well.
