Starter Hosting

A website is composed of a set of files stored on a computer called a server, which is connected to the Web. When someone wants to access a site, their web browser sends a request to the server to get those files. The server then sends them to the browser, which uses them to display the web page. These files can include text, images, videos, and computer code that add functionality to the page.

Web hosting is a data storage service, permanently connected to the internet, which allows websites to be accessible at any time and from any place in the world.

When you create a website, you must host it on a server so that users can access it. Web hosting providers, such as OVHcloud, provide services that allow you to store files on servers, manage them, and make them accessible on the internet.

There are different types of web hosting, ranging from shared hosting solutions, where multiple websites share the same server, to dedicated hosting, where a server is reserved for one website. Web hosting providers can also offer additional services such as site management tools, backup services, SSL security certificates, custom email addresses, and more.

To host your website, the minimum you need is a server with an internet connection, a storage space, and a domain name (your website address).

With a shared hosting plan, users share the hardware resources of one physical server. This kind of web hosting is very easy to use, and offers great value for money.
