What is Website Hosting and Maintenance?

Website hosting is the process of purchasing space online to store a website and all of its files, databases, and software. Hosting relies on hosting providers, servers, and associated connectivity software to work. Fundamentally, it is what allows businesses to have websites that their customers can find.

As the name suggests, website maintenance is the process of maintaining a website and its components. It involves updating software and performing routine checks of website security, backup systems, databases, etc. Maintenance also includes troubleshooting whenever a website experiences technical issues.

Why Web Hosting and Maintenance Matter

In a world where customers increasingly make purchase decisions and even purchase goods and services online, website reliability is essential for most businesses. Downtime can mean lost customers and lost sales. It is important that a website is hosted through a reliable web hosting service provider on quality servers. Preventative website maintenance is just as important because it helps a business avoid unnecessary downtime.
