In order to be ‘live’ on the internet, a website needs a home (a hosting server). Lots of companies provide hosting, some good, some less so; some are cheap, some are dirt cheap; and some are free.
I always use Hostgator*: they’re inexpensive, reliable and offer decent customer service.
Two of the most common types of hosting are:
- Shared hosting means your site sits on a server with many others and is very cost-effective. It’s the most common and adequate for all but the largest sites or those with a greater need for water-tight security (for processing credit card payments, for example).
- Dedicated hosting is when a single website is hosted on a server. This is a much more expensive option
