In order for you website to be available on the Internet it needs to be placed on a computer attached to the internet. While it’s possible to host your website yourself, it requires dedicating a powerful PC server to that purpose and making sure it’s running and accessible to the internet 24 hours a day. If you want to have interactive functionality, (such as database access or, forms processing) or the ability to run server side programs (usually written in ASP/ASP.NET or PHP) you will need to have Web Server software installed.
Costs will be based on the amount of storage and bandwidth (amount of traffic in and out of your site) you require, and add-on services such as e-mail accounts.
Web hosting choices
There are many providers who will provide free web hosting. In many cases the web host will provide templates that are used to create your site. Google provides sites as a free template driven web site solution. Note that you may not need a traditional web host and a Blog ( http://www.wordpress.com, http://www.blogger.com ) or Wiki (http://www.wikispaces.com) may suit you.
