Web hosting is an aggregate of services that makes it possible for a web page (or a website) to go online and be reachable from any country in the world. When you type a domain (ex.: www.hostunit.com) in a browser’s location bar, what you notice are the web site files that are stored on the web hosting servers of a web hosting distributor. The hosting service also includes the option to set up email box accounts with your domain, to set up and manage databases, to configure password-shielded locations, and to keep track of all web site viewers – what web pages they looked up, what web search engine or website they came from and in which country they were located. Additional options that are offered by each web hosting package are FTP access, domain parking and forwarding functionalities, etc.
