web host is a service provider that places your web site on a computer which is connected to the internet. This then gives people who surf the internet a way to access your website. The computer that the web hosting company uses is typically just like the computer you have at home, the only difference being that it is set up to serve up web sites and is therefore called a "server".\n\nA web host will typically have a fast connection to the Internet and they may host thousands of web sites on many servers. The web host essentially rents out space to you so that you can get your website up on the world wide web. \n\nSome large web hosts own their own datacenter (collection of servers), some rent a server from a larger web hosting company and then resell the space under their own company name. In this case the web host will manage your account on the server, but they will be renting the actual web space from another much larger company.\n\nMost web hosting companies do not own a datacenter, but rent web hosting space in a datacenter.  \n\nThere are literally thousands of web hosting companies available in the market, all with different types of plans and at different prices. It can be hard to wade through all the options, especially if you are completely new to web hosting and just want to get your website up on the web. \n\nOr simple way tie up with some well established webhosting company and if you need a designing or developer company please tell us we have certainly many plans for this

NO, a web hosting company sells the space that websites are held on. Its like selling disk space on the hard drive of a computer for others to store files on. There are thousands of hosting companies with affiliate programs. try Godaddy.com

for free hosting, try google superpages or yahoo geocities ,\nits sort of free hosting, but you are limited to a subdomain on googlepages & geo has ads on your website - otherwise I would use http://www.interkeys.com/tophosts to get one for a few bucks a month with 500 GIG bandwidth and the rich with features\n\nits up to you how developed a site you want and if you want to use your own domain name

Yeah your home page needs to be titled index.html for a server to properly recognize it. You also need to make sure to use correct lettering called naming conventions, when u make pages.

build your site at this link and have it hosted free. wizard guides you thru the simple steps

Step 1: \nRegister your domain name.  You can register a domain name at yahoo or at godaddy.com.  \n\nStep 2: \nGet web hosting.  YOu can get web hosting thru Yahoo or Godaddy, or a gazillion other web hosting companies on line.  You will likely only need a teeny bit of disk space for your site, but you may want to make sure you have at least 500mb of space so that you have enough room to have email accounts associated with your website/domain.  Get a UNIX/RedHat/Linux/Apache type account.  You don't need to pay for "windows" hosting.  You should pay between $7 and $20 per month for hosting.... less, and you don't know what kind of customer service you are going to get, more, and you are paying too much.\n\nStep 3:\nGo to the place where you registered your domain name and make sure your DNS is pointing to the place where you are hosting your website.  \n\nmore explanation: if you register mycompany.com and your host is hostingcompany.com, you need to make sure your domain name is pointing to hosting company.  your dns may look like this:\n\nns1.hostingcompany.com\nns2.hostingcompany.com\n\nOften times your webhost will do the DNS transfer for you.  You will need to tell them your regristrar account's username and password.  That's their job.  It's ok to give it to them.  You might want to change it afterwards though.\n\nSide note: I recommend registering your own domain.  Don't have your hosting company register it for you, as you want to own your domain name and have it registered in your own name.\n\nStep 4:\nThe next step, of course, is to create your website and then load it onto your server.  You should learn XHTML and CSS to do a good job here.  You only need a text editor such as notepad or textpad to create your site and the filemanager portion of your control panel (see below) to upload your files, but you can also go all out and get Dreamweaver, or other WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor.  I recommend Thomsons book "New Perspectives on HTML, XHTML, and Dynamic HTML, Comprehensive"\n\nTerms:\n\nMySQL:\nMySQL is a type of database.  If this is your first website and you asked the question you did, you likely will never need to use it.  However, it is good to get a hosting package that allows for at least one MySQL database.  You will only ever need one database, as you can have almost unlimited tables in this one database.\n\ncPanel:\ncPanel is a control panel for webhosting.  It's a type of control panel... brand name.  It is a really great control panel.  WHat is a control panel?  A control panel is a GUI by which you can control your website.  It includes file manager, where you can upload pages to your website (uploading means putting files from your computer onto your website that is hosted by your hosting company you picked in step 2), control of .htaccess, which allows you to set up password protected directories, email, which allows you to set a default account for your site as well as create email mail boxes and email forwards.

if you have purchased a URL e.g www.SomeName.com, you can go to the CONTROL PANEL of your URL provider and Look for a setting called Destination IP or something of the same meaning. \n\nHere you put the IP of your PC, so each time anyone uses the URL, they will be directed to your PC. Ofcourse you need to have a web server installed on your PC to host some web pages.\n\n:)

You will need to do the following to host your website from your home:\n\n1. Get a Broadband connection with Public Static IP address. (Static IP given by ISP is not enough. It must be public IP)\n\n2. Setup a Web server. Either IIS on Windows or Apache on Linux.\n\n3. Host your website by setting up appropriate Virtual directory.\n\n4. Use a Service like Dynamic DNS to make sure your Domain name resolves to your Static IP (Provided by your ISP)\n\nAll the best. Let me know when its done so i can take a look as well!
