What is Web Hosting?
Web hosting is a service that allows organizations and individuals to post a website or web page on to the Internet. A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website or webpage to be viewed in the Internet. Websites are hosted, or stored, on special computers called servers.
What is PHP Hosting?
PHP is a popular scripting language that is designed to produce dynamic web pages (e.g. login pages, shopping carts etc).
PHP code is embedded into the html source of a website, and is run on the web hosting server rather than on the browser. So, if you look at the source code of a PHP web page, the code that you see is just plain HTML. Since PHP is a universal scripting language, websites created with PHP are fully compatible with popular mobile devices like iPhone and iPad. A large number popular websites, including Facebook and Wikipedia, are written in PHP.
WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla are the most commonly-used open source
content management systems written in PHP. A lot of webmasters choose
these three platforms to build their websites because of their
flexibility. There are a lot of themes and plugins created for these
three platforms and webmasters can create professional looking websites
based on these systems with just a few clicks. Also, their themes are
customizable, so webmasters can change the coding to fit their needs.
