Web Hosting is what you need in order to run your web site. The Internet (World Wide Web) consists of billions of servers. A server is a computer that web sites are stored on. Servers are always on and connected to the Internet. Your web site is to be placed ("hosted") on a server. Theoretically you can buy and use your own server, however this is costly, difficult and time consuming to maintain. Actually that wouldn't make much sense.

For this reason, the majority of people out-source their web hosting needs to web hosting companies like the ones listed on www.1Host.info. A web hosting company rents out web space on a server which is paid for on a monthly or yearly basis just like apartment property. Paying for web hosting, you can concentrate on your web site rather than trying to maintain a server. Naturally you get a round-the-clock super-fast Internet connection and team of professionals to keep your web site up and running.

When you sign in with a web hosting company, you get a web hosting account. In fact you are given access to a portion of the company's server and get the rights to use their support. You get a unique username and password which you use to place ("upload") your web site to their server, and ... Hurrah!... your web site is visible on the Internet for billions of people!
