So why do people use hosting companies?

We all have ip adresses to connect to internet but as you may know it changes everytime we re-start our broadband modem. Only few of us have Static ip adresses if we have paid for it and this is the only way to provide a way for our audience to connect and reach us

As you can see; when we try to connect to a domain, eg. steemit.com, we don't actually connect to steemit.com but it's ip 34.239.36.39,

Also we can't just leave our computer on 24/7 a year, even if we try, we don't have enough internet speed and bandwidth

And most of us does not know how internet works so those are the reason why people pay for publishing websites.
