Once you have a web site, and registered a domain name it is important to find the right company to host this on your behalf. Hosting your web site simply means giving your site a URL (i.e. www.yourname.co.uk) and placing it on a computer known as a web server thus enabling the whole world to see your web site on the World Wide Web.

Care must be taken when choosing a host as some companies offer free hosting, however a quick look at their terms and conditions will show that this only applies to personal web sites and not commercial sites, and you may find that there are financial penalties for transferring your site if you are not happy with the service provided or that your web space is cluttered with adverts.
