Web hosting

What is "Web Hosting"?

When you visit a web site (like BBC or Yahoo) that web page has to be physically stored somewhere. Web Hosters, like Burton Hosting, offer the space to store web pages. The space the pages are stored on is called a server. Leasing space on a server is comparable to leasing office space. For a monthly/yearly fee, a company resides in that space, and all maintenance is the responsibility of the property. As part of the lease, the company has access to additional services that would otherwise be a costly investment. Burton Hosting stores Web sites on its secure servers, enabling programmers to affordably leverage the power of the latest in programming technology and redundancy over a high-speed network.
