 What is web hosting?
Web hosting allows your web site to be visible on the Internet at high speed via a web server. Your site can then be viewed globally through a browser (such as Internet Explorer). Renting space on a server can be compared to renting an apartment. For a monthly fee, you live in that apartment and all maintenance is the responsibility of the property. You also have access to certain courtesies that would otherwise be an expensive investment. A web hosting company hosts (or "houses") your web site on its own secure servers, giving you the ability to affordably leverage the power of a high-speed network, 24/7 customer support, and state-of-the-art technology.

What is disk space?
Disk space refers to the amount of server disk storage your account is given. The space is used to store all the files that compose your web site, including HTML files, graphics, audio clips, video clips, e-mail, and more. Your web pages take up space on the web server in the same way word processing documents consume space on your computer's hard drive. Disk space is usually measured in megabytes (MB). The total disk space your site will require is simply the sum of each web site file.

What is bandwidth?
Bandwidth refers to the total amount of information that visitors have downloaded from your web site each month. Every page (also known as a "file") on your web site has a specific size, for example, 25K. Whenever somebody downloads that file, your bandwidth usage goes up by that amount. Larger files will consume more bandwidth when they are downloaded. And of course, the more traffic that your site receives, the more bandwidth you will go through.
