web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that hosts websites for clients, i.e. it offers the facilities required for them to create and maintain a site and makes it accessible on the World Wide Web. Companies providing web hosting services are sometimes called web hosts.

  • colocation for the server(s), providing physical space, electricity, and Internet connectivity;
  • Domain Name System configuration to define name(s) for the sites and point them to the hosting server(s);
  • web server running on the host;
  • for each site hosted on the server:
    • space on the server(s) to hold the files making up the site
    • site-specific configuration
    • often, a database;
    • software and credentials allowing the client to access these, enabling them to create, configure, and modify the site;
    • email connectivity allowing the host and site to send email to the client.
