Hosting your website

The very first step to have your own website is to own a domain for yourself. This can be done with the various registrars out there. That is the easiest part and it is quite cheap nowadays. But the second part is the toughest part which is to find a suitable hosting service provider where you could store all your files and services which can be accessed 24*7, online. You can't keep all the data on your PC for the simple fact that its not a server. There are many web hosting providers out there and choosing the best hosting is an easy thing when you read some reviews and compare plans of them all. If you are a complete beginner, then i would suggest you to read the Beginner's guide to web hosting for some fair ideas.
