You may have understood that without web hosting you can't really have a website. But it might help you to make a buying decision to understand what, exactly, web hosting is.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to \"web\" there are three different but equally important types of \"hosting\":\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/silicondales.com\/tag\/domain-hosting\/\">Domain Hosting<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a title=\"Web Hosting\" href=\"https:\/\/silicondales.com\/tag\/web-hosting\/\">Web Hosting<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a title=\"Managed Email Hosting for Enterprise\" href=\"https:\/\/silicondales.com\/tag\/email-hosting\/\">Email Hosting<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-49689\" src=\"https:\/\/silicondales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Switchboard-operator-246x300.jpg\" alt=\"Switchboard-operator\" width=\"246\" height=\"300\" \/>How hosting makes the internet work<\/h3>\r\nYour domain hosting will contain records - nameservers - which tell browsers (or, rather, their ISPs) upon which physical machine (or section of a machine) web files live for a particular domain. When email is received or sent, your domain host will tell the ISP where to route that email.\r\n\r\nWeb Hosting is therefore the computer - or section of a larger computer - which contains the files and database required to render your website or web application. Your web hosting server will deliver, on demand, these files to browsers which request them, which will render them. That is how the internet works.

A TLD is yourdomain.com. For Silicon Dales, our TLD is SiliconDales.com.\r\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/silicondales.com\/tag\/email-hosting\/\">Email Hosting<\/a><\/h3>\r\nEmail Hosting is the hosting on a physical computer, or section of a physical computer, somewhere, of the email which is sent to and from your domain.\r\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/silicondales.com\/tag\/web-hosting\/\">Web Hosting<\/a><\/h3>\r\nWeb Hosting is the storage and serving on demand of the files and other elements which make up the website accessible via your domain.\r\n<h2>More information on hosting<\/h2>\r\nYou'll find more information on all kinds of hosting in the tutorials, case studies and news on this page.
