A Web Host is simply a company that provides you with server space for your website. This includes all of your web pages, graphics, scripts and files.When your web address is typed into a browser, your web host is being contacted to locate and display the requested page.All Web Hosts are not created equally. There are a number of free hosting services available on the Internet. However, if you're designing a website for business purposes, you should NEVER host your website with a free host.

In order to establish credibility, you must be willing to invest in your own domain name and professional web hosting. Websites hosted on free servers are not taken seriously and will suffer a serious loss of business. Your visitors may feel that if you don't have your own domain, you may not be a credible company. They'll simply take their business elsewhere. Not only is professional credibility a great reason not to host with a free service, but many Search Engines won't even index a site hosted on a free server.
