What is Hosting?

Hosting, or web hosting, is a globally used term. In essence, hosting can be described as a service 'offering disk space' so you, as a customer, can publish your website on the World Wide Web.

At certain hosting companies you have to pay for the amount of megabytes offered for your account, while other companies, like your Internet provider, offer free web space.

The big difference between paid and free web space is often found in the so called 'extra services'. Free web space offered by your ISP is in most cases only sufficient for a simple website with no programming, database usage and other advanced technologies. Free hosting companies often place adverts and pop-ups on your site, these adverts can be for competitors as well! You have no control over what is advertised on your site.

People who choose to be present on the Internet on a professional base will soon bump into the downsides of 'free' web space, not to mention the annoying publicity ads you will encouter.
