What is a web host...do I need one?

The World Wide Web is a massive collection of web sites, all hosted on computers (called web servers) all over the world. Internet service providers offer space to "house" your website.The web server (computer) where your web site's html files, graphics, etc. reside is known as the web host. Web hosting clients simply upload their web sites to a shared (or dedicated) webserver, which the Internet Service Providers maintains to ensure a constant, fast connection to the Internet. Plans (prices, duration's, space, etc.) vary depending on the company you choose.
