Can you explain Web hosting to me?
Web hosting is like renting a locker. You are renting a piece of space for your possessions from a larger piece of space that holds things for everyone. In time, your possessions may grow to a size too big for your locker so you have to upgrade to a bigger size locker. If you collect enough stuff eventually you will need your own facility to house all of it. That is basically how Web hosting works. You rent a piece of server space on a Web server that you share with several other Web sites. This is called a "shared hosting plan". If your site is busy you will be continually adding new pages and collecting more and more user data.

Eventually the size of the data you have collected becomes too big for the space you are renting. You must upgrade to a bigger shared plan. As your site continues to grow you eventually become too big for this plan so you must upgrade again. Eventually you make it to the ranks of "dedicated servers." Dedicated servers are entirely dedicated to your site. You do not share them with anyone. They are expensive and should not be needed for new Web sites unless you are going on a mass multi-thousand dollar marketing blitz to launch your site.

So how long can I last on a shared plan?
Most Website owners do not make it out of shared land. There are two key factors that determine the size of the hosting plan that you need.

1. Space
2. Bandwidth

Space
It takes a lot of content to fill a Web directory. Most people (and I do mean most) will never run out of space. Hosting companies market space like PC makers market hard drives on new computers. They offer you a ton more than you will ever need in an effort to make their packages look more appealing. If you have a Website that deals in imagery or your Website has features that allow a user to build their own Web page or upload their own photos then you may need more Web space one day. As a general rule of thumb however; the common Web site owner will never run out of space.

Bandwidth
You get an allotment of bandwidth with your hosting plan. Bandwidth is the amount of data transfer that your site is allowed usually measured per month. People often refer to this as "the pipe". The pipe can only handle so much traffic before a larger pipe is needed. If your traffic numbers keep growing then the pipe will become too small and you will to have to upgrade your hosting plan. Again, this is an area that is rarely exceeded although it is possible. If you are service streaming video or Websites with large picture content in conjunction with high traffic numbers then you could run out of pipe.

So what will it cost?
That depends on what kind of features the site will have. Static HTML pages for very small "This is who we are and here is what we do" Web sites can be hosted for peanuts. Sometimes they can be hosted for free. There is little risk with these applications. Nothing can break. Dynamic Web sites that are data driven or require special scripting such as contact forms move you up the ladder farther in terms of price. The simplest of these types of Web sites can be hosted for as little $10.00 per month. You can also find free hosting for these kinds of sites but I would be careful. Free is free. Sites like this require more attention and professionalism to run properly. More complex Data Driven Web sites can run you anywhere from $29.95 to $200.00 per month depending on site size and traffic. Again, try and pick quality over price.

In computing, HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the predominant markup language for the creation of web pages. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document — by denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on — and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects. HTML can also describe, to some degree, the appearance and semantics of a document, and can provide additional cues, such as embedded scripting language code, that can affect the behavior of web browsers and other HTML processors.

HTML is also often used to refer to content of the MIME type text/html or even more broadly as a generic term for HTML whether in its XML descended form (such as XHTML 1.0 and later) or its form descended directly from SGML (such as HTML 4.01 and earlier).
