A service provided by someone, usually a company, which offers disk space on a computer that is connected to the internet.

The purpose of using this disk space is to store files that are made available to the internet for anyone to view using a standard internet browser.
In addition to the above it is common for a web host to offer email facilities as well as a large variety of options which have to be reviewed carefully to ensure that you get all the facilities you are likely to need.
To be accessible on the internet you need web space on a server. Your Website needs space for the information to be placed on - just like on the Hard Disk of your computer. This information consists of files that can be accessed through their filenames. To call up such a file name there should be a hyperlink on an other page.

The process of placing files on a web server’s hard disc is called web hosting.
