India Web Hosting Forums

Web hosting (or simply Hosting), is an online service that allows organizations, companies or individuals to post a website or web content on the platform of Internet. A web hosting service chiefly houses your website on Internet.

Web hosting is a service which allocates space for customers to showcase their websites on computer servers that are connected to the Internet 24/7.

There are many different types of web hosting. Most packages come with certain capabilities for users. Examples are scripts that allow interactive functions, forms, bulletin boards, guest books, etc. For professional purposes there are also Web hosting services that offer commercial packages that bundle business tools, like point of sales packages and credit card processing.

Prices for Web hosting vary from free to hundreds of dollars a year, depending on your needs. Web hosting for personal websites that don't require any special tools and have low traffic (not a high number of viewings) can be found easily for free.

Free Web hosting is convenient but has its drawbacks. Usually it will be required that you allow the server to run advertisements on your website. The advertisements are normally banner ads -- a banner at the top of the page for example -- and sometimes pop-up ads as well. Most free hosting services offer an alternative pay-plan to have the advertisements removed.

Another consideration is that free services normally allocate your website address as an extension of the server's address. For example: 404 - Not Found. If you want an address like: www.yourwebsite.com, you will have to pay to register your own domain name.
