Definition
Web hosting is the service that provides storage and access for websites on the internet. Founders reach for it when a vague conversation needs a shared, specific meaning. Name it clearly, then let the next decision — a hire, a price, a test, or a pass — follow from that meaning.
In the room
How the word shows up in a real conversation.
Two cofounders disagree until they define Web hosting. Once they agree it means “Service that provides storage and access for websites on the internet”, the argument becomes a decision.
Common mistake
Using Web hosting as a label instead of a fact. If you cannot point to the evidence — a number, a customer, or a written assumption — you are using the word as jargon.
