Hosting

A service that stores your website files and makes them accessible online.

Detailed Explanation

Web hosting is a service that stores your website's files on a Server and makes them accessible to anyone on the internet via a Domain name. Different types of hosting suit different needs: static hosting (Netlify, Cloudflare Pages) is great for Frontend apps, while platforms like Railway or Render host Backend applications.

Modern hosting includes automatic SSL certificates (HTTPS), CDNs (global distribution), DNS configuration, CI/CD (auto deploy from Git/GitHub), and management of environment variables. Hosting is a critical part of your Tech Stack and is often the final step in Deployment.

Modern hosting platforms read a Dockerfile to build and run your app, assign a Port for your app to listen on, and provision SSL Certificates for HTTPS automatically.
