Hosting (Web Hosting)
The server service where a website's files and data are stored to make them accessible over the internet.
Web hosting is the service where all your website files (HTML, images, database) are stored. Without hosting, a website cannot exist on the internet.
Hosting types: Shared hosting (cheap, shared resources), VPS (dedicated resources, mid-price), Dedicated server (fully dedicated, expensive), Cloud hosting (elastic, pay-as-you-go). The appropriate type is chosen based on site scale.
For Azerbaijani sites, local hosting doesn't provide SEO advantages. Foreign hosting with global CDN (Cloudflare, Hetzner) is often faster and more reliable.
Why does it matter?
Poor hosting causes sites to slow down or become completely inaccessible. Hosting is the foundation of a website.
