what is web hosting?
Web hosting is an online service that enables you to publish your website on the World Wide Web (Internet).
Web server saves all of your website data like themes, plugins, images, text, etc and when someone visits your website it will upload the data to the reader’s browser.
A server is a physical computer that runs without any interruption so that your website is available 24×7.

There are many reliable Web hosting out there like Siteground, Bluehost, hostinger, A2 hosting, prohosty, etc.
