A web host is the “super computer” that holds all your website’s files. When people type in your web address or domain into the web browser, their computer will magically connect to your host’s server. Your host will then send the relevant files over to the web surfer’s computer and they will be displayed on their screen as your website.

This is probably not a very good option because the large registrars charge well above average prices for hosting. Many discount hosting companies are offering very affordable hosting packages these days. In fact, you can often host an unlimited number of websites for only $5.95 per month. You will be limited by the amount of memory and bandwidth you use though (but this won’t become a problem unless your site becomes very successful and at that point you can afford to pay a little more for hosting.)
