What Does it Mean to Host a Domain?

Hosting (also known as website hosting or Web hosting) refers to housing, serving, and maintaining files for one or more websites. In a sense, you rent space on a computer to hold your website.

Your host, the computer where your website files are stored, assigns an Internet Protocol (IP) address to your domain name that represents the online location where you've stored your files. In this way, anyone can find your website on the Internet by typing in your domain name.
