Hosting

Hosting is a service in which companies or individuals are “rented out” a certain amount of storage space and memory of a server. Customers can use this to store data. Hosting is mainly used for websites and e-mail (with its own domain name). There are different types of hosting, such as cloud hosting and dedicated hosting.

There are a number of legal issues related to hosting. This could include how the hosting provider should handle the customer’s data (privacy) and whether the hosting provider is liable if the service is (temporarily) unavailable.
