Vefmóttöku, also known as web reception or web hosting, refers to the service of making websites accessible on the internet. It involves storing a website's files on a server, a powerful computer connected to the internet, which then serves these files to users when they request them through a web browser. Web hosting providers manage the infrastructure, security, and maintenance of these servers, allowing individuals and businesses to publish their online content without needing to own and operate their own server hardware.

There are various types of web hosting available, each catering to different needs and budgets. Shared hosting is the most affordable option, where multiple websites share the resources of a single server. Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting offers a dedicated portion of a server's resources, providing more control and better performance than shared hosting. Dedicated hosting involves renting an entire server, offering maximum control, security, and performance, typically for high-traffic websites. Cloud hosting utilizes a network of interconnected servers, providing scalability and flexibility. Other specialized hosting options include WordPress hosting, e-commerce hosting, and reseller hosting.

Key aspects of web hosting include uptime, which refers to the percentage of time a website is accessible online, bandwidth, the amount of data transferred between the server and visitors, and storage space, the capacity to store website files. Reliable web hosting is crucial for ensuring a positive user experience and the success of any online presence.
