hosting

Hosting is defined as "the business of housing, serving, and maintaining files for one or more Web sites."

Many bloggers have personal experience of web hosting companies.  There is much comment on blogs about computer servers for other Internet/intranet activities. Quite a few posts in the blogsphere complain about hosting companies who fail to match the expectations of bloggers.

There are many other hosting options for bloggers: 1. hosting on your own servers housed in a data center; 2. hosting on your own servers housed at your home or office; 3. hosting on cloud computing services (free or paid); or 4. co-hosting with friends or associates or other commercial or non-commercial users.

InterNIC has FAQs for Domain Names, Registrars, and Registration. It may be worth considering whether to use one host for serving your webpages, and another company to handle your domain name registration.
