Definition

Hosting (web hosting) is the service that provides the server space where all your website's files are stored. When someone visits your site, the hosting server delivers those files to their browser. Without hosting, your website wouldn't be accessible on the internet.

Examples

  • 1Vercel hosts your Next.js application and serves it to users globally.
  • 2AWS S3 stores your digital product files.
  • 3Crealo handles hosting for your store, products, and courses without you having to do anything.

How to apply it

If you use Crealo, you don't need your own hosting. If you want your own website, Vercel, Netlify, or Railway are good options for creators.
