Cheap Web Hosting and What Server to Choose
Be it a small personal web page or a large online business or large company, everyone needs web space on the World Wide Web. Consider this as the online real estate that you own. A web hosting service can help you achieve this for a fixed monthly or yearly fee. The hosting provider will give you a unique domain name if required, a certain amount of bandwidth and disk space and a plethora of other utilizable features, tools and benefits.
Before you go shopping for a web-hosting provider, remember to perform a price comparison, feature comparison and technical support comparison between various providers. This will give you a basic idea about the hosting industry and what essentials would be required for your website. It is very important to make a well-informed decision to save yourself getting lured into the cheap scheme offers. It is also important to note that a hosting package does not have to be necessarily expensive as they do not always include superior features or benefits or may come with certain costs. There are many hosting providers out there who would offer an affordable hosting package with all-inclusive features and tools. Remember, web hosting packages should not rip you off and yet deliver you the essentials required for smooth functioning of your website. For just a few dollars per month, there are many web-hosting providers who would readily let to host multiple domains.
Cheap web hosting can be considered as an option if you have a tight budget to begin with or are just looking to create a web presence or are starting to get a feel of the web hosting industry. You must however ensure that you get a quality shared server lest it may slow down your website. Perform an analysis and read customer reviews on cheap web hosting and then make a judicious decision.
The most important decision for the customer is to determine which server to choose for hosting their website. The web hosting controls the servers where is website and data is stored and the type of server you choose would determine the quality and quantity of traffic your website would receive and controls other aspects of your website.
A dedicated server is best for large companies or online businesses as in this type of server an entire server is dedicated to all your web pages and comes equipped with a plethora of utilizable features and tools. This is the most powerful server to choose for web hosting.
A shared server is much cheaper and many users share the same server and resources to host their website with the hosting company.
The Virtual private server or VPS is another medium between the above two alternatives. In this type of server, the server is partitioned and you do not use an entire server for your website as in dedicated. It however eliminates all the hassles involved with shared hosting as the server is partitioned and other users would not affect your server in any way.

What do you mean with all these questions? I just made my very first server today for free? There are stacks of software available. And It really is quite easy to create one.
Here, this is the video I used, but if youre using a mac, he has another video for that too.

Poole I believe you’ve misunderstood our friend here.
Yes it is very easy to host a server, but NO he doesn’t want to host it from his own connection.
He is asking for an allocated area of the internet to use SPECIFICALLY for his server. Not for home, not for family, not for himself, but specifically to host the server’s software from. That way it won’t eat up his own bandwidth when he hosts.
I too, require a good server space or cloud (if that is what it is?) so that I can host. But I’m British and not Australian.
EDIT: I don’t know what’s best for you mate, but this might be worth a look-in. http://www.ultimategameserver.com/Web-Hosting
