A web hosting service is the type of Internet service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Most web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own.
The scope of hosting services varies widely. The most basic is web page and small-scale file hosting, where files can be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a Web interface.
The files are usually delivered to the Web "as is" or with little processing. Many Internet service providers (ISPs) offer this service free to their subscribers. People can also obtain Web page hosting from other, alternative service providers. Personal web site hosting is typically free, advertisement-sponsored, or inexpensive. Business web site hosting often has a higher expense.
Single page hosting is generally sufficient only for personal web pages. Westads can assist you should you wish to have your own holiday rental web site. Westads can also provide web design and co-ordinate your hosting requirements at economical costs.

A complex site calls for a more comprehensive package that provides database support and application development platforms. These facilities allow the customers to write or install scripts for applications like forums and content management.
The host may also provide an interface or control panel for managing the Web server and installing scripts as well as other services like e-mail. Some hosts specialize in certain software or services. They are commonly used by larger companies to out source network infrastructure to a hosting company
