A Web host is a service that stores, or hosts, your website pages on it’s servers so others browsing the World Wide Web can access (read and view) the material you’ve created.

Choosing a hosting service can be confusing if you’ve never set up a site before. With all the talk of space, bandwidth and platforms. Rest assured however, this does not have to be as difficult as many would think.
