What is Web Hosting?
Web hosting is the essentially the placement of your website onto the Internet using a webserver. Once your site is on a webserver, anyone with Internet access can look at your website - from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. In order to have your site hosted on the web, you need to have the following three things:

  • A website - a page or set of pages that is located under the same domain name. theotherguysnetworks.com is a website (but you knew that already!) A web page is a computer document written in a publishing language called HTML. When an Internet user types in your web address, your web server sends the content of your web page to that user. Pages are text files with HTML code in them.

  • A domain name - a unique text-based address used to locate a specific set of web pages. A domain name is made up of words and/or numbers plus a TLD (top level domain). The TLD for most businesses is ".com", such as www.theotherguysnetworks.com; non-profit organizations use ".org"; universities and educational sites use ".edu"; and sites involved with the U.S. government use ".gov". More TLDs are on the way, such as .biz, .pro, .name, .info, .tv etc.

  • An account with a web hosting company, or a server of your own to host your website

A server is a computer that stores information that can be accessed through the internet. Servers can also be used to store website information that can be accessed by any computer with a connection to the Internet - and a browser such as Internet Explorer the most popular web browser.

Web hosting is, in many ways, similar to renting property. There are plenty of companies that will rent you space on their web servers. The wide range of services start from free hosting on up to buying a server for your own personal use. It's possible to spend thousands of dollars a year on web hosting alone, though the average person or small business typically pays $10 - $40 a month, depending on how many features, disk space and bandwidth they need.
