The Basics of HostingAt its most basic, getting an Internet project up and running requires two essentials: access to hardware and access to the Internet. Hardware and bandwidth are a major consideration in light of both the potential expense and the issue of quality of service. This is one of those areas where you can pay as much or as little as you like. There is a correlation between what you pay and the quality you get, but there are plenty of good deals to be found in the current market, so shop around.
Let's take one step back and make sure everyone shares some common ground, in terms of terms.
"Servers" are the hardware that holds and distributes information to people via the Internet. A small site may reside on a server with a number of other sites, a large site may require hundreds of separate servers in a variety of physical locations, all connected together and running as one cohesive system.

How I Host My New DOT-COM Domains For Free!When it comes to selling online, one thing is certain: a small focused website that features just one lead product will far outsell a big website that features lots of products and links.
By focusing on just one product, you avoid distracting your visitors or forcing them to make decisions. That way, they'll take the time to study your product and the chances of making a sale are vastly increased.
I can see the evidence for this in my own business. While the main company website (BizzyDays.com) continues to bring in a steady stream of sales, it's actually the individual websites for each of the ebooks that are responsible for the lion's share of orders.
The problem, however, with having one website for every single ebook is that it adds a lot of extra overheads. In general you're looking at minimum $100 for any kind of webhosting and somewhere between $8 and $35 for a domain name.
