web hosting – the service of providing the computing and connectivity needed to operate a web site on the internet. Specifically, a service that provides access to an HTML page server or other similar application to public or private user, via an http connection. Actual web hosting services are usually combined with email handling, domain name services and other information technology support that are generally needed, but not required for web hosting.
