Web hosting can be defined as renting space in the World Wide Web. A website is a bunch of files that linked together by HTML code to display text and graphics through a browser in a computer. However, a website cannot b e accessed by other people through the internet unless it is hosted in an online server. A web server is a computer that allows to receiving requests from the internet to access files in it.
When someone wants to buy a Web Hosting usually the web hosting company will charge monthly. The fee will be including maintenance cost for 24/7 and server upgrading.
There are 2 kinds of web hosting basically. Shared hosting and dedicated hosting. Shared hosting monthly fee usually is around $5-$10 depends on the company and the services. It is cheap and suitable for those who want to start to have a website. While dedicated hosting is for big and highly trafficked websites. Sometime a website requires a large amount of server resource to run. The difference between shared and dedicated is, for dedicated all the resource is for only one client thus the client can monitor the server resource. The fee for dedicated hosting is around $50 per month.

You need to chose your web hosting company very wisely. Never be cheap when it comes to hosting your website.
To tell you the truth if you take the time develop a cool website or blog you should also get quality hosting from reputable and large companies. They are the ones most unlikely to to give you headaches by overselling bandwidth and cpu limits. I have really bad experiences with small but cheap hosting companies. They don’t tell you upfront what the limits are and you just wake up with the website down. This happend to me when a client specificly want some host for a custom script I developed. It was a pretty good and large application. He didn’t beleave me when I told him that offers like the one he found are not suitable. Of course the account was suspended the minute he had more then 10 users online at the same time.
