    They essentially ‘put your site on the internet’ – you upload your website’s files to the web host and they can then appear on the internet.

    So basically..

    You buy a domain name (like www.yourname.com) and tell that to point at your webhost
    You upload your website to your webhost

    then when someone types in www.yourname.com they see your website!

    Webhosting ranges in price but I recommend Hosting 24 (http://www.hosting24.com/page/3362) – I’ve used them for about a year and the service has been great, before them I used 000webhost and awardspace (ok.. but not as good!)

    A web host basically get your script language or functions ready as a website through internet.And you can use them in any operating system. Their cost are also very low. Here is some option for you:

    # bluehost.com (only $6.95/month. They will also give you unlimited space and bandwidth with free domain registration. They have free site builder too)

    # hostgator.com (All are same like blue host but the cost is only $3.95/month only)

    # justhost.com (same as hostgator.com)

    I am not telling you to use those but i suggest you to check those and if you like then use any of them.

    A web hosting company is a company that hosts your web site.

    Basically if you want a website you need a computer to "host" it on. You can run it out of your garage for example. However if you want better reliability, speed, redundancy, etc. you can find a web hosting company and "rent" space on their server.

    Web hosting companies have really evolved as many plans offer pre-configured servers with a lot of software makng it easy to load up a web site.

    And because there are so many, it’s quite competitive in price and many are $3 to $5 a month.

    The main thing that will distinguish hosting companies from one to another would probably be
    1) uptime
    2) support

    A lot of people talk about uptime but I’ve found that many hosting companies have great uptime. So to me it’s really support. So far support wise I really like

    hostingzoom <— number in my booko
    hostgator
    hostrocket

    I have probably tried about 10 hosting companies now and hostingzoom stands out above the others for me.

    One hosting company that is more "upper tier" that is amazing is mediatemple. More expensive but definitely the support is awesome.

    Hope that helps!

    Well, looking for web hosting companies. Web hosting companies do hosting of websites from their servers. These companies provides disc space for our website, bandwidth for hosting our website and lots of other helpful services which are necessary for web hosting.
    here below are some points we should keep in mind for comparing web hosting companies:

    1)Disk Space.
    2)Bandwidth.
    3)Cost.
    4)Hosting type (Windows or Linux)

    And some other features like FTP, Control panel accounts etc.

    A web host is basically the computers that run your website. I do not recommended going with a local web host as they just do not do enough volume to afford the resources of a reliable service. I have seen some that try to use cable internet (like at your house) that just doesn’t cut it. The best operating system for a website in most circumstances is a server running Linux, no matter what your home computer uses.

    The best webs host that I have ever used is http://easydch.com/hosting as they are reliable, have great prices (as low as $2.99), and 24 / 7 live human support. The way they work your website may be on several server computers that can automatically devote more resources to your website whenever needed.

    I recommend one of these: http://www.top3hosts.com

    iPage has the best offer right now.
    Their standard price is $84/year ($6.95) but they have
    a 50% sale, one year of hosting for $42.00.

    Their plan includes:

    Unlimited disk space
    Unlimited bandwidth
    Free domain name

    Price: $42/year ($3.50)

    They have one of the most popular hosting platforms, which currently hosts over a million websites. They’re also one of the oldest hosting companies, founded in 1998.

    They include a free point & click online site builder so you can create a website without any programming (easily, just by drag and drop) or you could install WordPress (they include easy, one click install from their control panel), choose a theme that you like, and start adding content.

    They also have a great custom control panel with OneClick installs of all the popular software like WordPress, Joomla, Forums, Chat, Galleries, Online stores and a lot more.

    Web sites reside on a web server, which is essentially just a very powerful computer. When you type in www.yahoo.com for example, that domain name points the IP address of Yahoo’s web server, and you are then directed to that server (where the Yahoo home page resides) and served the page. A web host owns hundreds or thousands of web servers and basically rents you space on one of them to store your web site. When people type in your domain name the host serves them your web site.

    It’s tough to say which web host is the best, it depends what you are looking for. But for basic hosting I recommend you visit http://www.webhostingdiscounts.net/ They have what I believe are the top 10 hosting companies and you can compare them side-by-side. I have hosted with many of them and they are all pretty good; they are all fairly big and well established so I’d say you really can’t go wrong with any of them. Even the cheapest ones still give you a lot for your money. And honestly you won’t use even a fraction of the features that the web hosts offer so I would focus on reliability/uptime and price when making your selection.

    Good luck!

    I would recommend you go to a web hosting review site and do some research before buying web hosting. I used http://www.mywebhostinghero.com/Cheap-Web-hosting.html and discovered http://www.webhostingpad.com/5494.html was the web hosting company for me. The charge $75 for a 3 year term which is only $1.99 a month. You can’t beat that price anywhere. I love these guys and have never had any issues.
