The World Wide Web is simply a way of publishing information (such as documents) so that it is easily accessible by others connected to the Internet. This is accomplished by placing the information on web servers. This act of publishing any information on the Web by placing it on an adequate Web server connected to the Internet is called "Web Hosting". Web hosting is a service which essentially provides a home for the on-line content or applications you wish to publish. Space is allocated on the server and access is granted to individuals who will develope and maintain the Web site.
