examples are wikipedia.org, google.com, and amazon.com. All publicly
accessible websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web.

store all of these files. That place is your hosting company’s server.
On this server, you’ll store your website’s media, files, databases, and
anything else required to properly render your website. Exactly how much
storage you have will depend on the hosting plan you choose.

or business that registers domain name is called the domain name registrant.

security, scalability, and management level of your website. The type of
website you have and the amount of traffic you’re getting will also
impact your decision on choosing a web hosting option. For example, a
small personal blog with 5,000 monthly visitors will have different
hosting needs than a large ecommerce site with 250,000 visits per month.
