What is hosting?
Think of web hosting as the home for your website—it's where all your content, images, and pages live. When someone visits your site, the host makes sure it loads quickly and securely.
Wix provides reliable, built-in hosting with every paid website plan. That means you don’t have to manage separate hosting providers—it’s all in one place, and I take care of setting it up for you.
But first, some vocabulary
I can't help it, I was a teacher!
Hosting vs. Domain - a domain name is your sites address on the internet. Hosting is the space where your files are being stored. You have to have both. Think of it like this: the domain name is the street address of your house and hosting is the actual land and structure where your house (website) is built.
​
CMS - Content Management System - pieces of content within a collection. In a product catalog, each product would be a CMS item; in a blog, each post would be a CMS item; in a team member section, each team member would be a CMS item.
​
Dynamic Content - CMS items are designed to be displayed dynamically on your site. You can connect these items to elements on your site, like text or images, and the content will automatically update based on the data in the CMS.
​​
Mobile Optimization - ensures that your site loads well on any device, including phones and tablets.
​
SSL - Secure Sockets Layer - a layer of security that establishes an encrypted link between a web server and a browser to ensure that all data passed between them remains private and secure.
