💻 Ever wondered how websites are actually hosted and made available online?

Here's a quick breakdown for anyone curious about what happens behind the scenes when you visit a website:

🔗 1. Website Files

Every website is made up of files—HTML, CSS, images, videos, scripts. These need to be stored somewhere accessible 24/7.

🌐 2. Web Hosting

Hosting providers (like Bluehost, GoDaddy, AWS, etc.) rent out space on their servers where your website files live. Think of it like renting a storage unit on the internet.

📍 3. Domain Name

The domain (like example.com) is linked to the server’s IP address using DNS (Domain Name System). This lets users find your website easily.

📥 4. Server Delivers Content

When someone visits your site, their browser sends a request to your hosting server. The server responds by sending back the correct files, which the browser displays.

🔒 5. Security & Performance

Good hosting also includes things like firewalls, SSL certificates (HTTPS), backups, and load balancing to keep things safe and fast.

⚙️ Types of Hosting:

Shared Hosting (cost-effective, beginner-friendly)

VPS Hosting (more power, more control)

Dedicated Hosting (you get the whole server)

Cloud Hosting (scalable and reliable)

📢 Whether you're starting a blog, building a portfolio, or launching a business, hosting is the foundation that puts your website on the map.
