What is a Web Host?
A web host stores your web site and transmits it to the internet for you. To put a web site on the internet you need three things: a domain name, a web site and a web host account.
How it works is that your domain name points to your web host’s server which is where your site is physically housed. When someone types in your domain name, the computer looks to the domain record to see where it should go to find your site. It then goes there and gets it.
