A web hosting company is a company that provides space on a computer they own or lease for individuals and organizations to store the files that make up their website. These computers are called web servers and are permanently connected to the Internet so that the websites stored on them are always available to be viewed. Most web hosts also provide email service for the web accounts they service. The host may also provide an interface or control panel (or ‘c-panel’) to allow the customer to manage the files, scripts and other services like email accounts.
