HostingHosting is the act of providing web space to organizations or individuals, usually for a monthly (or annual) fee. This space is like a plot of land on the internet; you can use it to build your website or store your email, among other things. You can move your website from one host to another, and you can also upgrade your hosting plan as your website's requirements grow over time. Hosting plans vary widely in cost and features between providers; Grassroots.org provides hosting free to nonprofits.
Hosting plans may include email hosting, mailing lists, databases, and other tools and services. See also: Host
