A '''web hosting service''' is a type of [[Internet hosting service]] that allows individuals and organizations to make their [[website]] accessible via the [[World Wide Web]]. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a [[server (computing)|server]] owned or leased for use by 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 other servers located in their data center, called [[colocation centre|colocation]], also known as ''Housing'' in Latin America or France.

The scope of [http://www.fastspeed.com.br web hosting services] varies greatly. The most basic is [[web page]] and small-scale file hosting, where files can be [[upload]]ed via [[File Transfer Protocol]] (FTP) or a Web interface. The files are usually delivered to the Web "as is" or with minimal processing. Many [[Internet service provider]]s (ISPs) offer this service free to subscribers. Individuals and organizations may also obtain Web page hosting from alternative service providers. Personal web site hosting is typically free, advertisement-sponsored, or inexpensive. Business web site hosting often has a higher expense depending upon the size and type of the site.

Single page hosting is generally sufficient for [[personal web page]]s. A complex site calls for a more comprehensive package that provides [[database]] support and application development platforms (e.g. [[ASP.NET]], [[ColdFusion]], [[Java Platform, Enterprise Edition|Java EE]], [[Plack (software)|Perl/Plack]], [[PHP]] or [[Ruby on Rails]]). These facilities allow customers to write or install scripts for applications like [[Internet forum|forums]] and [[content management]]. Also, [[Secure Sockets Layer]] (SSL) is typically used for websites that wish to keep the data transmitted more secure.

There are also many free and paid providers offering web hosting.

A customer needs to evaluate the requirements of the application to choose what kind of hosting to use. Such considerations include database server software, scripting software, and [[operating system]]. Most hosting providers provide Linux-based web hosting which offers a wide range of different software. A typical configuration for a Linux server is the [[LAMP (software bundle)|LAMP]] platform: [[Linux]], [[Apache HTTP Server|Apache]], [[MySQL]], and [[PHP]]/[[Perl]]/[[Python (programming language)|Python]]. The web hosting client may want to have other services, such as email for their business ___domain, databases or multimedia services. A customer may also choose Windows as the hosting platform. The customer still can choose from Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby but may also use ASP .Net or Classic ASP. Web hosting packages often include a [[Web Content Management System]], so the end-user does not have to worry about the more technical aspects.
