A web site hosting service allows you to make your site accessible to
the web.
The website hosting service rents you some space on their server which is where you site your website. A server is just a 'computer' connected to the internet all the time
You transfer your website, including all your website's files including images, CSS sheet (if you are using one) and web pages, to the space on the hosting server using a file transfer protocol
When choosing a hosting service, the hosting uptime, i.e. the percentage of time that the server is accessible to your visitors is important. For your marketing website an uptime of a mnimum of 99% is essential
