Everything About Web Hosting

Web hosting is a service which allows people to showcase their web pages, and make them accessible via World Wide Web 24/7. The web pages are stored at servers - powerful computers with large hard drives. Every server has a unique numerical IP (Internet Protocol) address. If you rent a space on a server, you can be reached by a unique address, i.e. the website address.
There are a lot of different types of cheap web hosting and many hosting providers. The prices for the Web hosting range from toll free to rather expensive and depend on your needs and features the package comes with. If you need a web hosting for personal homepage, which is aimed at small amount of visitors, you can find free or cheap web hosting (for less than $2). Usually this kind of hosting comes with limited features and with low traffic. This means that it is intended for not great number of viewing.
Free or cheap Web hosting has several drawbacks. Usually, hosting providers require allowing the server to run advertisements on your webpage, such as banner and pop-up ads. If you want to remove the advertisements, most free hosting services offer an alternative pay-plan.
Another drawback of free hosting is that free services usually allocate your website address as an extension of their server's address. As for instance: www.freewebhosting.com/yourwebpage. To avoid this you will have to register your own domain name.
If you’re looking for web hosting intended for professional purposes there are a lot of Web hosting services that provide commercial packages that come bundled with various business tools.
