Web hosting is a service that allows individuals or organizations to store their website files on a server and make them accessible to users on the internet. When you build a website, all of its content (HTML, images, videos, scripts, etc.) needs to be stored somewhere — and that “somewhere” is a web server provided by a hosting company and that company being Nextel Systems Ltd.

In simpler terms, hosting is like renting space on the internet so your website can live and be available 24/7 to visitors around the world.

Key Concepts:

• Server: A powerful computer that stores website data and delivers it when someone visits your site.
• Domain Name: The web address (like example.com) that points to your hosted website.
• Uptime: The percentage of time a website is available online (e.g., 99.9% uptime).
• Bandwidth: The amount of data your website can transfer to visitors in a given time.
• Storage: The space available to store your website’s files, databases, and content.

Why Hosting Matters:

• Without hosting, your website won’t be accessible on the internet.
• Hosting affects your website speed, security, and reliability.
• Choosing the right hosting plan ensures smooth performance and scalability as your site grows.
