| Does a website (e-commerce, forums, online communities) need a webhost to run? How about youtube.com, amazon.com, google.com, or yahoo.com? How do they work? Is it possible to own one without webhosting? I'm curious because I want to start a business... Thanks in advance! |

| If you want to have a website, you will definitely need a webhost. Webhost is to store your site content. |

| Yes, every web site requires hosting. The huge companies you mentioned all own thousands of servers and host their own sites. For most small businesses, paying for web hosting from a hosting service is the way to go.You'll find hosting services that are incredibly cheap, but do your homework - quite often, you get what you pay for. The two most important things with a web host are reliability (i.e., your site is "up" and running) and customer service. If you find a hosting service offering both of those to your satisfaction, it's worth it to pay a little extra. |
