HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the fundamental building block of all web pages. It's not a programming language, but a markup language that structures content on the internet. Think of it as the skeleton of your website.

Using a system of tags (like <p> for paragraphs or <img> for images), HTML tells your web browser how to display text, images, links, and other elements. When you use our shared hosting to build a site, you or your website builder software is creating HTML files that our servers deliver to your visitors' browsers.

Key things HTML does:

• Structures page content with headings, paragraphs, and lists.
• Embeds multimedia like images and videos.
• Creates hyperlinks to connect pages.
• Defines forms for user input.

Every single website you visit, including the one you'll host with us, relies on HTML to exist. It works seamlessly with CSS (for styling) and JavaScript (for interactivity) to create the complete web experience.
