What is web hosting?

What it is

Web hosting is the space on our servers where your website's files live. Without hosting, a domain name displays no page: it's the hosting that "stores" and "serves" your site to visitors.

How it works

You upload your site's files to your hosting space, then point your domain to it. When a visitor types your address, the server sends them your site.

What's included

• Storage space for your files.
• Databases (for WordPress, for example).
• The SSL certificate for the secure "https" padlock.
• A simple control panel in your client area.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to code? No. With a tool like WordPress (installable in one click), you manage your site without programming.
