What is website hosting?

Every site that you visit consists of a domain and hosting. The easiest way to understand this is to imagine that the domain name is the address of your residence, and the hosting is the house where you live.

When you go online and enter a URL (for example, https://www.darkhost.pro), essentially your browser makes a request for that domain name (for example, darkhost.pro) to figure out where the website is. The browser then downloads the content that is stored there.

Website hosting is an online tool that allows you to publish your website or web application on the Internet. When you buy a hosting service, you usually rent server space. On which you can store all data and files in order for your site to function.

Website hosting is actually the process of using a server to host a website, and all kinds of hosting are available in the market. DarkHost, like most web hosts, offers different rates so that customers can only pay for the services they need. The more popular a site is, the more resources it will need to function effectively.

We are glad to announce that it is easy to increase resources on DarkHost, for this you can change your tariff plan as soon as you need it, that you can start with the simplest hosting tariff and then gradually move to a more "bulk" one.
