What Is Web Hosting

Web hosting is the service that allows your website to be visible on the internet. This article explains what hosting is and how Hostigo helps you get your website online.

 

1. What Does Web Hosting Do?

Web hosting provides the space where your website files, images, and databases are stored. When someone types your website address, the hosting server delivers those files to their browser.

 

2. Why You Need Hosting

Without hosting, your website cannot exist online. Hosting keeps your site available 24/7 so customers can visit it at any time.

 

3. How Hostigo Hosting Works

Hostigo stores your website on fast South African servers. When someone visits your domain, our servers load your website quickly and securely.

 

4. What Is Included with Hosting?

A Hostigo hosting plan includes:

  • Website storage
  • Email accounts (e.g. info@yourdomainname.co.za)
  • cPanel control panel
  • Free SSL certificate
  • WordPress installer

 

5. How Hosting Works with a Domain

Your domain name points to your hosting account. When the domain and hosting are connected, your website becomes accessible to the public.

Once you buy hosting from Hostigo, your account is created automatically and you can start building your website.
