Distinguish between web hosting and web publishing

• Web Hosting typically refers to a hosting services provider that provides server hosting space for websites of various types. • Web Publishing refers to an individual or organization that designs and then deploys (publishes) websites/web content to the hosting server.
• Publishing is also more commonly associated with Website content, as opposed to Website design, though the two are commonly linked under the singular definition. It is similar to publishing a book or magazine, where both the layout and content are "published" as one item and delivered to the masses. The difference with Web content is that as hosting server is needed to publish the content to. • Many companies (my own is one example) provide Hosting, Design and Publishing services. Some companies or individuals may only do Design, but leave the Publishing up to the owner or another company. Companies that do Web Publishing also tend to be the site administrators, since they are normally responsible for content update.
• simply put Web Hosting is the parking of your website content on a web hosting server. • Web publishing can be many things including, the whole process of developing a website, hosting it and then maintaining it. • It could also mean, blogging, social bookmarking or starting a profile on myspace or facebook. • Web hosting and web publishing are completely different and should not be confused with each other.
