It's not rocket science but some people will try and confuse you with jargon and nonsense. Your website needs to be on a special computer - a server - attached to the Internet, with a bit of techical stuff to point people in your direction.
Lots of designers rent space from a giant company, often based on the other side of the world! They pay x and charge you y. The problem is that the server could host 500+ websites.
That's 499 other sites potentially slowing down access to your site. It's even possible for one of those 499 sites to pull down the whole server
I've got a dedicated server, based in Europe for faster access. It's fast and reliable, and it's actually very green too.
Hosting with me doesn't cost any more than with other companies. The benefits are reliability and excellent support.
