What is Web Hosting?

“Web hosting” refers to entrusting a third party to manage and maintain a website after it is completed. Generally speaking, in order to facilitate the subsequent maintenance (source code, warranty, etc.), it will be directly handed over to the original website setup company to carry out the hosting.

Commonly, web hosting includes: providing space for the website, providing website traffic, monitoring the normal operation of the website, data backup, troubleshooting, and program warranty.

Why do Enterprises need Web Hosting?

Web site management and maintenance itself requires a high level of technical requirements, coupled with the rapid changes in Internet technology, if you do not have the expertise in this area, or have a professional department of the relevant technology, there will be a certain degree of difficulty in the management and maintenance. Enterprises choose to manage their own websites in order to have the autonomy of website management, but it increases the time and money costs in website management. Therefore, most enterprises now choose to entrust their websites to a third party to manage on their behalf, which on the one hand can control the cost of management in a reasonable range, and on the other hand can ensure the quality of management and maintenance.

In addition, the software used to set up the website is not directly related to the need for webmaster. Let’s take WordPress, the most common software on the market, as an example:

First of all, before using WordPress to set up a website, the enterprise will need to have a host space to install the WordPress system in order to set up the website. After the website is set up, or even if the enterprise has a ready-made website, it still needs to move the website to a rented hosting space for storage and management. Therefore, regardless of cost considerations, or the convenience of follow-up maintenance, most enterprises will choose to entrust the website to a third party for management.
