web hosting server Web hosting is an Internet service which provides online computer systems for storing web-accessible information content.  Many hosting plans offer email and visitor tracking features.  Free web hosting plans, a popular choice for personal home pages, generally require advertising to be displayed on your web pages.  Shared web hosting plans, popular with small businesses, involve sharing a web server computer with a number of other sites.  A dedicated web hosting plan commits an entire server computer to your website (or websites) and thus offers more reliability and security than a shared hosting plan.  Of all the Internet web hosting choices, dedicated hosting is most costly, but it is a popular option for larger websites and e-commerce sites.

So how do web hosting servers deliver web pages to a web site user?  Well, client software (such as a browser) on the user's computer begins the process by requesting data from the host across the Internet, usually via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).  The client's request includes all the necessary information, including the file formats which are accepted by the browser.  Regardless of what kind of file the client asks for, the web hosting server retrieves the file, attaches a header, and sends it on to the client.  The client software typically displays the formatted web page on the user's computer display.
