Virtual Hosting

Virtual hosting basically means one domain hosts another one. Your domain name is hosted by another site so you don't have to buy or maintain your own server and connections to the Internet. When people visit your site they are actually connecting with a computer at your host's site. With a virtual host and an e-mail address you will actually only exist in cyber-space. A virtual hosting provider is often known as a web or Internet space provider or simply as a host. Virtual hosting provides web sites with domain name registration assistance, allocation of file storage and directory setup for site HTML and graphic image files, e-mail addresses, and sometimes web site creation features. All you need is a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program or something similar to send files to the virtual host.
