What Is Web Hosting, Exactly? Everything You  Wanted To Know

By: Mike Peters

On a Sandy Beach: 23/10/2019

Mike is the inventor and architect of Pipi and the founder of Ajabbi.

Richard Kershaw of WhoIsHostingThis.com contacted me today to suggest a great web article titled "What Is Web Hosting, Exactly? Everything You Wanted To Know."

It is a comprehensive introduction to the different types of web hosting that are available.

His website has a lot of handy resources. Everything from cookies to .htaccess to pattern generators.

Another helpful reference source.

I have recently shifted to working on the front end of a headless project and have taken a crash course in CSS 3.0 and HTML5.

A lot has changed in 10 years. In 2009, I only used XHTML and CSS 2.0 and did not use JavaScript.

I'm planning to learn along the way. Also, check out Web Accessibility requirements for screen readers, etc.
