Website hosting is the space where all the files, folders, images, etc that make up your website are stored. Every website needs to be hosted somewhere and the type of hosting you need will depend on the type of website you have built for your business.

If you’re wondering how much you should be paying for hosting every month or year, this is the article for you.
