What is web hosting?
A web hosting service allows an individual and/or organization to make their websites accessible through the world wide web (WWW). The companies that provide the space on a server they own are known as web hosts, who provide the web hosting service. Web information is stored in documents called web pages, which are stored on computers called web servers; and the computers reading the web pages are called web clients.
Hosting your web site on your own server is always an option. Following are some of the points that can be considered:
Hardware
Running a real website needs some powerful server hardware that cannot be replaced by a low cost PC. You'll also need a permanent source of power supply (so that the website is not down if there is load shedding or other power problem) and a permanent high-speed connection.
Software
Server-licenses usually have limits on number of users, and they are often higher than client-licenses.
Labor
Installing your own hardware and software cannot be accomplished with low labor expenses. Also bugs and viruses need to be dealt with, and the server needs to be running constantly in every situation.

The Internet
What is Internet?
The internet is a chain of interconnected computer networks using the standard internet protocol suite (TCP/IP). This chain is comprised of web servers and client computers. Clients are computers that access this network through an internet connection. Web servers handle the actual web pages. Web servers have a bunch of web sites loaded waiting for clients to request them, which is done through browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, etc.
The Internet is a network of networks, spread over the whole globe. The foundations for the origin of the Internet were laid back in the 1960s when the United States funded research projects of its military agencies to build robust, fault-tolerant and distributed computer networks. Initially, the network was known as ARPANET, which later became the internet when its capacity was increased with the connection of more number of computers to the network.The Internet has no centralized governance in either technological implementation or policies for access and usage.

The most important component of the Internet is the Internet Protocol (IP), which provides addressing systems (IP addresses) for computers on the Internet. The IP address is a unique naming convention of each and every computers that are part of the Internet.
The Internet has been serving everyone around the world, with every possible means. E-mail is an important communications service that is available on the Internet. The concept of sending electronic text messages among the people similar to the mailing letters or memos predates the creation of the Internet. File sharing helps to send and receive large sized files across the globe. The Internet has also enabled entirely new forms of social interaction, activities, and organizing, through social networking sites such as twitter, facebook, myspace, etc.
