Hi whwmike,

Thank you for providing detail information of hosting types and services. Cloud hosting seems to be a new type of hosting platform. I am interested in it. Thank you once again.

Keep us posting such good information.

The wealth and depth of knowledge in this thread is truly humbling...

In order to have your website to function online (world wide web) you need a web hosting service/company to store or \"host\" your web page on his server. Hosting is created through a server which are computers connected to the internet 24 hours a day used to publish your website online. Hosting is traditionally purchased in monthly intervals or yearly basic with an assigned amount of storage space based on the plan you choose. There is lots of web hosting service and companies online, a good example of them is Domain name registration, a hosting server can be a share hosting or dedicate hosting. A share server is a general server and it is very cheap to host on them, but dedicate server are more cost than share server.

If you want to host your website on a server, you need to contact a good web hosting company online and make sure that they offer all the essential service you need to provide your website online 24/7 with an uptime of 99.8% or more.
