The World Wide Web comprises millions of Web sites all interconnected worldwide thanks to the Internet. A Web host is a service that offers a Web server, connected to the Internet, which stores the data of one or more Web sites. But just like automobiles, Web hosts and their server offerings come in many different shapes and colors.
Web hosts such as iPower and Dreamhost are the Hyundai Accents of hosting. They'll get you where you're going, although not that fast. They're pretty reliable; although they will break down from time to time. They're equipped with a few important features, but nothing that will really knock your socks off. A Web host like Media Temple is the BMW 730 of hosting. It'll not only get you where you're going, but it'll get you there fast and in style, with plenty of features. Of course, there are also Ferraris and Lambourghinis of Web hosting, too. But we'll save that for a future update.
