Website hosting means storing and serving your web site on a website server. Once your website has been completed it needs to be moved to a computer that will “serve up” your site to people requesting it from a search engine results pages or from other web sites.
A web server is a powerful computer that is available 24 hours a day and sits on a very broad “pipe” to the Internet. A web server is located in a “data centre” – a highly secured building with back up power, water and several high-speed links to the Internet.
For most people, it is hard to determine what makes a suitable web host for their web site from a technical perspective. Most servers can host most web sites so other issues such as getting support easily may figure more in your decision. For example, foreign hosts can be cheap, but getting anyone on the phone (or to reply to your email ticket in a reasonable time frame) can be near impossible.
