A web hosting service provides a service that allows individuals and businesses to post their web pages to the internet. The services of a web hosting service provider, which provides the technology to view web-sites on the internet worldwide, can be purchased or possibly offered free of charge in return for placing their advertisements on your web pages.
Customers can use web hosting services after they've purchased internet services. Web hosting services use hosting and client architecture to load content to the server so web pages and information can be viewed on the internet in its original HTML format.

Clients of a web hosting service are given access to a server which will put the client's content onto the internet after a URL or domain name request is made. Once you have internet access you will need to have a browser in order to access the specific website. Browsers include the popular Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer programs. You only need to pay a small amount to buy a domain name from an online domain registrar. The name can be anything you wish, but most will not stray from the name of the given business.
Web sites are made up of an array of pages which are stored on a web server. The server is a part of a network of computers on the internet or World Wide Web that allows users of the internet to reach your site anywhere in the world at anytime through typing in your domain name into an internet browser such as one mentioned above. The internet is open for business around the clock.
When your URL or domain name is typed in, the host computers are so configured that it will use the pointer routine and look for the address from terminal to terminal until it reaches the computer that hosts your web-site. If everything went as planned, the website should be displayed just as it was designed.
Hosting companies require that you buy your URL or domain name first before you purchase hosting services. You can buy the domain name and hosting at the same time with most hosting companies and their packages. When opting for the free-hosting option, you will instead use the subdomain or subfolder of the host.
The main reason that this situation is problematical is that you do not maintain ownership of the subdomain and if the company goes under for any reason you could lose your website. If you use a free host, it is always a good idea to have a backup of all your websites and all the files that are associated with them. One of the problems of free hosting is advertising. Nothing is truly free. The cost of free hosting is ads on your page which could send potential clients and/or business and interest to other pages.
