Understanding web hosting can be confusing to make it simple readers can imagine it this way. If your computer was a television, the domain would be the channel button on your remote, the hosting provider would be the television station and the host server would be the video bank at the television station broadcasting the recorder programs you watch. Therefore, the server stores your website and “broadcasts” it to any internet browser that enters the domain name. But servers can be configured to provide a number of different website types. To clearly understand how a particular hosting package can benefit you, the goals and needs of the website should be planned in advance.
