This article explains what web hosting is, why you need it for your website, and how it works behind the scenes. You’ll learn the basics in simple terms so you can make the right hosting choice for your business.

Web hosting is the service that makes your website accessible on the internet. When someone types your domain name (like yourbusiness.com), web hosting ensures your site loads quickly and securely.

Here’s how it works in plain language:

• Your website files (text, images, code) are stored on a web server.
• A domain name points visitors to that server.
• When someone visits your site, the hosting server delivers the content to their browser.

Without hosting, your website cannot be seen online. KDigital Hosting provides reliable servers, strong security, and local Connecticut-based support to help small businesses stay online 24/7.

Step-by-Step: How Web Hosting Works

1. You create a website using a platform like WordPress or a custom design.
2. You purchase web hosting from a provider like KDigital Hosting.
3. Your website files are uploaded to the hosting server.
4. Your domain name is connected to your hosting account through DNS (Domain Name System).
5. Visitors type your domain into their browser and see your website live.

Think of it like renting office space: your domain is the street address, and web hosting is the actual building where your business lives online.
