Whether you are a website programmer or a growing business planning to start a new website business, it’s a good idea to know how exactly the web hosting works just to make sure that the launch of your website goes smoothly. These days, there are plenty of website hosting companies that offer different services to different types of websites.

Website Space:
The website space is actually the location where the images and files of your website reside. Web programming pages and HTML web pages of your website will be stored at this location. While some web hosts provide 100MB space, others provide up to 10,000MB or more. If the website of your company uses six to eight pages then even 100MB space may be too much because on an average, web pages eat up very little space.

If your company website is content based and needs tons of text, articles, images and videos then you need to have over 100MB of web space. Although web space is not a major factor when searching for a web host, there are many hosts that provide plenty of web space even for an average website.

Traffic/ Monthly Transfer/ Bandwidth:
Bandwidth is actually the amount of information that can be transmitted from your website. For example, if you have 1 webpage of 1MB and your monthly bandwidth limit is 100MB, then once your website gets 100 hits your monthly bandwidth limit has reached its maximum.
