What is Web Hosting

What exactly is web hosting? - In a nutshell, web hosting is a like a folder or directory  on your computer, except it's on a computer that's connected to the Web 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  And, anyone on the web can read what you put in it. To use a web host, you put your files in your  space on the web host. Visitors can find your files by going to your web address (called a URL.) When a visitor makes a request to your URL, a web server "understands" that request and gets the files from the disk where your web site lives, and shows them to the visitor.  If you want to create a simple web page, or build a massive web store like Ebay, you need web hosting.  You build your pages using a web language like HTML, build your scripts (programs) using a server  language like PERL or PHP, and then you upload everything to your web host, tweak some values for your  scripts (if you have scripts) and voila, you are live. (That's a simplified description.)
