Web Hosting

A brief guide to web hosting

All projects that are accessed by the internet need to be hosted on a web server. Your domain name is pointed to this server and a combination of this address and the folder system makes up a URL, commonly referred to as a link. When your clients enter a URL they access the files hosted on your web server, which then get downloaded to their browser. Your web design gets rendered by the browser and hey presto a website appears on the users screen. This is the basics of a client / server model and takes only seconds to miraculously travel anywhere in the world. Most of the internets web traffic works in a way similar to this.

Email hosting

Email hosting works in a very similar way to web hosting, with emails sent to you being stored on an email server. They find their way to your server because your domain name forms the later part of the email address. The part before the @ symbol in the email address is used to send emails to different email accounts.

You access your email account by authenticating with an username and password.  After which the files are downloaded to a email client like Outlook.  The email design is then rendered by your email software. You can also access emails by logging in to a webmail system through your web browser.
