Server Hosting

The easiest kind of server hosting to imagine is Web hosting services. Many consumers have Web pages for personal use. However, when a third-party types in the Web address, that person does not access the Webpage from the consumer's computer. Instead, the Webpage is served from a site like AOL or Go Daddy.com.

Hosting services are offered to consumers for free sometimes. In exchange for serving up Web pages the host places ads on the Webpage. They receive money for this from the advertiser.

Some consumers or small businesses do not want advertising on their Webpage. In this case they must pay for server hosting. The larger the business is the more Web hits it will receive in the larger it must pay to outsource its Web operations.
