With the vast majority of the world online today, this becomes a very valid question. So many people are trying to make their millions on the web, or share their lives through blogging and social networks. With these things in mind, it is important to understand what web hosting really is. I really think that there is a lot of confusion between web hosting and a web master.
To delve into this, you really need to grasp what both are and how they relate to your web presence. The idea of a web master is a simple concept: You create, design, and maintain a web site. With tools like Frontpage and site builders the barrier of entry for web masters is geared towards anyone. All you have to do to become a web master is to upload a website to your hosting account and keep it updated. If you search the Wordpress, Joomla, and osCommerce sites you will see tons and tons of web masters new and old posting in their forums learning new tips and tricks and helping out others to overcome the hurdles that they have in the past.
With the cPanel web based control panel and Softalicous script auto-installer anyone can build and manage their website with ease. Coupled with utilizing the support forums for the script you install, you can become a master web… master in no time!
Now, the web host is the company that rents you the space to put your website up to be viewed online. They provide you with the login information so you can upload a pre-existing site, or create a new one using Fantastico or a site builder. Their role in this is to make sure that their hardware and software allow you to be able to show your site to anyone that comes along to view it. They are in charge of maintaining the servers that your wonderful web presence is hosted on. A good web host should help you troubleshoot through issues you are having with installing or upgrading a script, email delivery, and guiding you to the resources you need to be successful.
