Many of people well know about Website but doesnot know the backend of website or where the files are hosted i am writing this post to give a brief idea about Webhosting.

“To make your Web site visible to the world, it has to be hosted on a Web servers so Web hosting means storing your web site on a public server.”

What is a Web Server?

The collection of all your web pages is called your web site.To let others view your web pages, you must publish your web site.To publish your work, you must copy your site to a web server.Your own PC can act as a web server if it is connected to a network. Most common is to use an Internet Service Provider (ISP).means if you want other people to view your web site, you must copy your site to a public server.to compare various web host and their service you can use web hosting comparison also.

Types of webhosting:

Hosting can be FREE, SHARED or DEDICATED.

Free Hosting

Some ISPs offer free web hosting. Free web hosting is best suited for small sites with low traffic, like personal sites. It is not recommended for high traffic or for real business. Technical support is often limited, and technical options are few.Very often you cannot use your own domain name at a free site. You have to use a name provided by your host like http://www.freesite.com/users/~yoursite.htm. This is hard to type, hard to remember, and not very professional.

there are various sites like

110mb
50Webs
Jumpline

Shared (Virtual) Hosting

Shared hosting is very cost effective.With shared hosting, your web site gets its own domain name, and is hosted on a powerful server along with maybe 100 other web sites.Shared solutions often offer multiple software solutions like e-mail, database, and different editing options. Technical support tends to be good. Shared hosting is not good if you take it as Seo point of view

Dedicated Hosting

With dedicated hosting, your web site is hosted on a dedicated server.Dedicated hosting is the most expensive option. This option is best suited for large web sites with high traffic, and web sites that use special software.You should expect dedicated hosting to be very powerful and secure, with almost unlimited software solutions.

Now a days used Green Web hosting is web hosting powered by renewable wind and solar energy,you can compare various green hosting at diffrent websites.

    Dedicated web hosting is the best way to go… It allows a business to have enough room to grow their site and add other sites without worrying what other sites on the server are doing.
