Hosting (eng. "Hosting" - accommodation, hosting) is the provision of computing power of a server that is permanently located on the Internet for the physical placement of certain information (site files, software modules for its operation, databases, etc.). ).
The software (software) necessary for the correct operation of the site, processing of requests to its files, computing and software modules, support for the functioning of services must be running on the rented server.
In addition, separate places are provided on the hosting for DNS (name server data for the correct operation of the domain), mail correspondence (for the communication of site users with the administrator through convenient forms), databases (with the help of which almost all modern sites function), files storage on a specially dedicated file server, site management system ( CMS ), etc. These services are mainly included in a standard comprehensive hosting package, but can be provided as separate (additional) services.
The concept of hosting also includes placement of the client's equipment (or its rental ), which is connected to the communication channels of the hosting provider.
