Web hosting is akin to renting a space on the internet, analogous to renting a storefront. A store possesses public spaces such as signage, a front door, and a window that facilitates the visibility of goods and services to the public. These spaces are accessible for browsing, purchasing, or consuming. Private spaces, located behind the sales counter, remain concealed from public view.
Web hosting enables the creation of a public space on the internet, facilitating the sharing of information, the sale of products, or the provision of services. The domain name serves as the shop sign, while the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) functions similarly to the URL used to access your website. When visitors access your URL, they encounter the front window and shop floor, while the underlying files that power your website are akin to the inventory and private items situated behind the shop counter.
