Though often mixed up, a web server and a web host do different things.
-
Web Server: This is a powerful computer that stores and delivers your website's pages when someone wants to view them. When you open a website in your browser, the web server sends the page to you.
-
Web Host: This is a company that takes care of the web servers for you. They make sure your website is always online and safe from hackers. The web host keeps everything running so your site is always available to visitors.
