Resources for Web Hosting
A web host is a company which allows you to rent space on their specially
configured computers. Your web pages are placed on these computers, in order
to make them visible by people browsing the web.
If you have a good quality Internet connection, it is also possible to
run a web server on your own computer(s). Your computer will of course
need to be running all the time.
Here are some web hosting resources:
- WebHostingPicks.com
This is a searchable directory of web hosting services.
- HostingCavern.com
Another directory of web hosts. Provides a list of hosting companies
arranged by the facilities/features that each provides.
- Web Server Software

A qualitative analysis of the web hosting services offered by HostGator and BlueHost. The book is intended to shed light into some of the most critical aspects that a new customer could use to make an informed choice. This book will also explain the website creation tools that are provided by these companies. This book also focuses a little on the popular Wordpress.
So you bought your domain name and do not know what to do or maybe you do. Regardless this short book will break it down for you.
What is web hosting?
Web hosting or Web Hosts are companies that provide space on a server owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center
Or to even more simplify it. You buy your domain name from either the companies I mention in this book or from your own personal source. Than you would have to have it hosted, as if you would have someone host a party for you. Think of the domain as your party and the web host is the hall you rented to have your party.
