What does the hosting provider do? I know they host our data on remote computer! But why that doesnt work on local server?

Question

I mean why websites hosted on local server cant be available on Google why we need a hosting provider to do so? What magic do they perform?

Answer 1

You can do it yourself, but it is generally more secure and less work to have it hosted.

You'd need to deal with router and firewall settings, obtain a fixed IP address (your local network IP address won't cut it, as it is designated in the private address space) or register for a dynamic one, (where if the IP changes they will update DNS records automatically to direct your sites name to the new IP address.
Maintain the machine being used as the server, probably want to run it off a battery backup (as well as your router) to keep the site up if power goes out...which will probably mean having to go and buy one. Maintain backups for your system.

That's jus a few things quickly off the top of my head.

Answer 4

You really should take a course about networking. Your local web server is not part of the internet unless you connect it with an IP and make it accessible. Then it would be searchable by Google as well.
