Do I Need Web Hosting
So you want a website. But what does that actually mean? How do you get from having an idea to putting out a finished online product? The task seems huge - the jargon, buzzwords and technological know-hows all look really complicated. There's an easy solution, though. Let's start from the top.
Getting Started - the Basics
A website is made of files. Every time you load a webpage, you are accessing those files that don't necessarily have to be stored on your computer. The way that they can get to your browser is through a web server that sends them to you on-demand. You need an access to a server to make your website visible online.
This is where Web Hosting comes in.
Great Power and Great Responsibility
What's the difference between your computer and a server? You can just keep your files where they are and send them out whenever people want to, right?
It's a nice idea, but home computers just aren't powerful enough. Think about it - you can have hundreds of people on a website, all clicking different things, looking at your blog, searching for your phone number, and the site still works. That's because the server it's on can respond fast enough. Think about what your computer would do if you tried to run a hundred programs on it at once. A total chaos for sure.
You'd also need a super-fast internet connection and an agreement with your ISP that you'd be using it 24/7. If someone on the other side of the world wants to see your site, you probably want to let them. That means the server has to be up and running all the time. Sleep easy - we at Crazy Domains have a 99.9% uptime guarantee so you know your site is always running.
Those are just some of the reasons why you need Web Hosting if you want a good website. So why get your hosting from Crazy Domains?
