A web host is a service provider that
places your Website on a computer which is connected to the
Internet. This then gives people who surf the Internet a way
to access your Web site.
The computer that the web hosting company uses
is typically just like the computer you have at home/office,
the only difference being that it is set up to serve up Websites
and is therefore called a "server".
A web host will typically have a fast connection to the Internet
and they may host thousands of Web sites on many servers.
The web host essentially rents out space to you so that you
can get your Web site up on the world wide web.
Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred
at a time. Normally a broadband connection gives 512kbps.
This means that 512 KB of data can get transferred per second
in those bandwidth. Bandwidth is fixed and this depends of
the internet connection you choose for using.
Data Transfer Rate is the amount of data that actually
gets transferred through a particular bandwidth. This is variable.
At a particular time 200 KB of data can get transferred and
at some other time 400 KB of data can get transferred. The
maximum data transfer is less than or equal to the bandwidth.
