In this article, I have decided to touch on a subject that may be confusing for many non-Web professionals: Web Hosting. While it is easy to understand what a Web Host does on a basic level, it can be much harder to sift through all the different options and decide which hosting service provider is right for your needs.
In this first part, I will start by giving a quick explanation of the main services that Web Hosts offer as well as the two main types of Web hosting packages you can choose. That will give you a clear idea of the concepts I will talk about in part 2 and what features you should be comparing when choosing a Web host.
