::: What is website hosting? :::
To be able to have a website that is accessible to all, requires a computer that is dedicated to website hosting that site. A website can be hosted on your own computer, and in fact, in the early days of the web, this is how website hosting was conducted. As you can imagine, this turned out to be costly, especially when you had to pay per hour to use the web! Websites would only be available at some points in the day. A solution was needed, and dedicated website hosting companies started to spring up.
::: How does website hosting work? :::
A website is simply a whole load of html files, php files, and a number of other possibilities. When you either design your site or get a web designer to design your site, there are files which are stored on your computer. These need to be transferred to your dedicated space with your website hosting company.

How To Understand Website Hosting
Whether you’re a growing business planning on starting a website business or just a website programmer looking for a good hosting account, its a good idea to learn how web hosting works to ensure that your website launch goes smoothly.
There are many website hosting companies on the internet, and all of them offer a different list of services for different types of websites. Here are some of the common features that you’ll see on most web hosts and how to decipher them.
Website Space: Website space is the actual location of where your website files and images reside. Your HTML web pages and even your web programming pages will be stored at this location. Some web hosts offer 100MB and others offer up to 10,000MB or more.
If your company’s website only uses up five to seven pages then even 100mb might be too much space because almost all average web pages take up very little space.
If your website is content based and requires tons of images, text, articles, videos, then you should ensure that your host has more then 100mb of webspace. Many times though webspace will not be a major factor when searching for a webhost. Most hosts will provide you with a lot web space for the average website.
Bandwidth / Traffic / Monthly Transfer: Bandwidth is how much information can be transferred from your website.

You need a domain and hosting. The freedomain.co.nr may let you have a “nicer” domain name for your site (instead of say “Geocities”) but it wont store your site (web host).
Not sure of a free host that doesn’t do adds. They need to make $ somehow. Servers are expensive.

Question by Tane: web hosting?
Does anybody can offer a best web hosting information site that contain detailed web hosting plans feature? I had found some, but all those web hosting sites only list a little general feature, space, bandwidth, price… It’s hard to compare those web hosting plans or review all those web hosting companies one by one. so more detailed web hosting plans information is appreciate.

Are “HOST REVIEW” sites honest? Are they unbiased, impartial, and factual… or are they just after your money? How does a hosting company get on the “top 10″ list? Amazingly most hosting reviews websites have one thing in common: They are getting paid by hosting companies for reviews (either directly in the form of advertising or indirectly via affiliate commissions) — making their reviews extremely biased, one-sided, and highly questionable in terms of accuracy. They all promote the same group of companies. The reason that the same hosting companies always make it to the “top” of the hosting comparison charts is because those companies, one way or another, pay to be listed there. These hosts include Host Monster, Blue Host, Lunar Pages, IX Webhosting, InMotionHosting, StartLogic, Host Pappa, Pow Web, etc. It’s a well-known fact web hosting companies running their affiliate programs through Commission Junction offer among the highest affiliate commissions in the hosting industry. Thus “clever” PPC (pay per click) affiliate marketers decided: why not create websites with “top web hosting companies” lists and list these companies as “top”? Hosting company reviews seldom base their “rating” on their quality of service (although many claim to). Instead, most of them rate a webhost on the *size* of the affiliate commission. Those web hosts offering the highest commissions usually get the top spots — because those hosting companies pay the most money. So the next time you’re …
