Web hosting and web publishing

Web hosting and web publishing are key parts of getting a website
online. Web hosting provides the space and resources to store your website,
while web publishing is about creating and managing the content you put on
your site. Knowing the difference helps you build and maintain your website
effectively.

What is Web Hosting?

Web Hosting, as the name suggests, is a type of internet hosting that


allows one to make their website available to users through WWW using the
internet. It simply provides space to the website on a web server so that files
or data of the website can be stored. It is the best way to increase the
growth of business and user experience.

There are many types of web hosting, including:

 Shared hosting

Multiple websites share a server's resources, such as CPU, RAM, and storage
space. This is usually the least expensive option and is good for small
businesses and blogs.

 Virtual private server (VPS) hosting

A middle ground between shared and dedicated hosting, VPS hosting gives
each site its own virtual environment on the same server hardware as other
sites. This is a good option for growing websites and small to medium
businesses.

 Dedicated hosting

A single client has exclusive use of an entire physical server. This is one of
the most expensive options and is good for large websites and high-traffic
eCommerce.

 Cloud hosting

A virtual environment is spread across multiple servers from a cloud


provider, such as AWS or Azure. This is a good option for high-traffic sites.

 Colocation hosting
A business can house its own server hardware in a rented space within a
data center. There are two types of colocation hosting: self-managed and
managed. In self-managed colocation hosting, the business maintains the
hardware and software, while in managed colocation hosting, the data
center's employees monitor the hardware.

 Free hosting

A free option, but the hosting provider will run ads on the website to cover
the cost. Resources are limited and there's no security, backups, or emails.

What is Web Publishing?


Web Publishing, as the name suggests, is the process of creating a website
and placing it on the web server, and published content may include text,
images, videos, and other types of media. Its main aim is to facilitate
communication simply by adding context through style, emotion, and space.
It is also known as online publishing.
