What is a Web Host?

A web host is a type of Internet hosting company that makes space on its server for your website to live, allowing the entire world to view it.

Cost: ranges from $40 to $150 per year.

When choosing a Web Host:

• Choose a basic hosting plan for brochure-type sites.
• Don’t pay set-up fees. No one charges them anymore.
• Don’t pay extra for emails. They’re pretty much unlimited.
• Paying for 2+ years gets you better discounts.

Discounted Hosting – Look for Promo Codes

You can usually get discounts on your hosting plan. Search “promo code” along with the web host provider and you will see a few choices for discounts.
