In order to understand what a web host does, you first need to understand what a web site is. For most people who surf the web, a website is a destination. The illusion of actually surfing from one location to another on the Information Highway is a powerful one. In reality, though, when we surf...we don't go to a website...the website comes to us. In essence, a website is nothing more than a collection of files. Some are .html files, others are images, others are music files, etc. A webmaster is a maestro, of sorts, who puts all these files together into a grouping which we call a web site. Business - Directory of business/finance/loan/mortgage related partner sites Computers - Directory of computer hardware/software/peripheral related partner sites Internet - Directory of webhosting/webdesign/internet marketing related partner sites Software - Directory of software related partner sites Web Design - Directory of web design/development related partner sites Web Hosting - Directory of web hosting related partner sites Web Promotion - Directory of search engine optimization/internet marketing related partner sites Web Resources - Directory of other web related partner sites Recreation - Directory of travel/hotel/cruise related partner sites Casino - Directory of online gambling/poker/blackjack/roulette related partner sites Health - Directory of online pharmacy/hospital/health related partner sites Shopping - Directory of online shopping/gift related partner sites Miscellaneous - Directory of all other partner sites
Web sites are incredibly amazing things. They can absolutely blow our minds at times. Always remember, though, on some level of your consciousness, that it's just a bunch of files, just like you can see on your own hard drive by clicking on "My Computer". When you go to a website, you're actually sending a request to the computer where these files are located, and that computer sends you back the files you've requested. Your browser then displays those files to you, and you see a website. So - if it's just a bunch of files on a computer, why can't you just put your website on your own computer, and let people request it from there? |
