If you build a web site and want to make it accessible on the Web, you have to put your web site on a computer that has a special software call a Web Server that communicates with other computers on the internet to access files. This computer has to have a dedicated static IP address and should be on 24/ 7. Security must be set up correctly to prevent hacking and has to be monitored continually. Most people don't want to bother doing that. So if you have a small or personal web site, most people will put their web site on a web host, which is a service that has all the above set up for you, and you just "rent space " on their computer to put your web site. You can find basic web hosting services for free, or you can pay for more features they offer.

A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web.Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation.

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name. If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
