>>Web Hosting Basics
Website Hosting is a vital part of launching a Website. A Web Host is a company that stores your Website's files and makes them available to the world wide web. Every Website on the internet has a Web Host. Some people may choose to setup their own Server and become their own host, but this is considered an advanced topic, so most people choose to work with a Web Host who handles all of the advanced configurations and make it easy for you to run a Website. Web Hosting is usually offered at a monthly price, and can cost up to hundreds and even thousands a month, but for most sites you can get away with hosting in the $5-$20/month range. Some hosts even offer free hosting, but do not have many of the features paid hosting does.
>>Disk Space
The 2 most important factors to consider when purchasing hosting is Disk Space and Bandwidth. Although there are many, many other features that can make or break a hosting plan, these two features are usually the most important. Disk Space is the amount of space you have to store your files. You may be familiar with MegaBytes (MB) and GigaBytes (GB). These terms are used to describe how much storage space you have available on a hard drive, CD-R, Flash Drive or other storage device. A small to medium sized website usually requires anywhere from 2-3 MB to 100-500 MB, depending mostly upon images, videos, and sounds. A website page is usually relatively small, from 10kb-100kb, and a 10 page site could get away with less than 1 MB disk space. However, a single movie or mp3 can range from 2 MB up to 10 MB plus, and can easily take up your disk space. So if you are planning on using a lot of images, mp3s or videos, you should consider at least 100 MB disk space.
>>Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the amount of traffic you are allowed to your site in a month. A large website with many visitors and multimedia files will eat up a lot more bandwidth than a small site with minimal multimedia and images and with few monthly visitors. Bandwidth is also measured in MB and GB, and is basically the amount of information being transferred from your site to visitors over the course of a month.
