Paid hosts, as opposed to free hosts, require a monthly fee for hosting services. Web hosting is renting the space for your web site. Your web site must physically reside on a computer that's connected to the internet. Web hosting companies provide the equipment, a high-speed connection to the internet and monitor your site to make sure it is always available. Hosting companies typically charge a one-time setup fee in addition to the monthly hosting fee.
