Why Teach Web Hosting?

Don't forget, web hosting is creating places on the web.

Don't forget, many hands make light work.

If more people are creating places on the web, there will be more places on the web.

A place isn't defined by existing, it is defined by its qualities. We can say more people creating places will mean more qualities, and that means more quality.

We can also equate quality and customization.

Web Hosting is Interface Design. An interface is a set of tools. Users access web hosting by surfing to the web host's pages. What differentiates the web hosting page from other pages is the ability it gives the visitor to make marks on the page.

We can create a very basic kind of place on the web by designing a place with just this one quality. How to do this becomes a very interesting question.
