Web Hosting
What is a web host?
A web host provides the place on the internet where your site lives. All the files that make up your website are stored by the web host on very powerful computers called servers with specialized software and extremely fast connections to the internet. When someone visits your site, they are actually contacting that server, which gives them the files they want to see.

How much will it cost to renew my web hosting?
