To Understand Web Hosting, You Need To Know What a Web Page Is

A web page is, simply put, a file. When you or your designer builds a web page, you or they save it as a file on a computer. If the file remains on your computer, the only way anyone will see if is if they're snooping around a bit.

So, in order to get the web page - a file - visible on the internet, you need to rent some space on a computer that specializes in serving files out across the internet to "host" your web page for you.
