A web host allows you to rent on disk space and provides all the services needed for others to browse on what is in your website. A web host also operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in order for someone, wherever he or she may be, can fully access the website anytime.
Choosing the right web host is the hardest part since there are thousands of web hosting companies around the globe. These companies not just offer one service but a lot of services that are sometimes confusing to a new user. The prices on web hosting companies may vary from free to hundreds of dollars a year.

Some of these limited services are, they may restrict you on the content you place on your website such as videos or music or they might not allow you to sell things on your own site. Even if they are not charging you to host your website, they still make money out of your site. How?
