So the time has come to finally get on the World Wide Web with a Web site of your own. Once the Web site and pages have been created, however, the question of where to put it still remains. From those looking to create a personal Web site to those looking to give their business or company a presence on the Web, there is a wide range of Web site hosting options available to you. The options that are more expensive may not always be the best choice — it all comes down to your budget and the type of presence you are looking to have on the World Wide Web.

regarding web hosting, there are different types of packages available and also different pricing. These variations include the Number of free Emails, the size of Monthly Bandwidth alloted, the size of the alloted Disk Space for your pages, the types of Scripts that the Package supports, etc. Those are just to name a few.

If you are a small business owner, then you can go for shared hosting, not for dedicated hosting.

But if you are a big company & want to host a lot of sites then you should have your own web server.

There are many companies which provides web servers on monthly rent basis.

Just choose your option.

Web site plans tend to vary on 1) the amount of file storage you're allotted on the server's hard drive; and 2) the amount of bandwidth your site is allowed per month. You can calculate your average monthly bandwidth by multiplying the number of files that your visitors are likely to access in a month with your site's average file size. (Be sure to account for increases in visitors and files if you're expecting a lot of growth in the near future.)

Unless you have a lot of images, videos, or large PDF files, even a very small storage and bandwidth plan is likely to be sufficient. Idealware's site, for instance, which receives about 325 visitors a day and 25,000 page views a month, uses less than 500 MB of bandwidth per month — far less than the amount offered by most plans.
