Web hosting enables anyone with a computer and internet connection to own a piece of cyberspace. In your space, you can have news, bulletins, documents, data, which would make up your website, and your own mail server to accept mail. This is your space and to get this space you need to own a piece of the physical internet with a network connection to the internet backbone, and computers operating as servers offering access to your files and mail server.
In our modern society, for every person in business, it is imperative to have a place in cyberspace, not just to be competitive but to survive. Web hosting companies were born out of this great need to offer an environment where people could have their piece of cyberspace 24/7, without the great cost. These hosting companies developed a model where they could split up areas on the servers connected to the backbone and rent this space, cutting the costs across many people, who are sharing the server.
In a web-hosting environment, area is defined as disk space and network transfer. The core components in a web-hosting are- a web server which accepts requests over HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and delivers HTML pages and Image files, an FTP server which enables a web master to transfer files to and from the server and a mail server.
