Web hosting services work by storing your website files in high-powered computers (web servers) connected to a very fast network. When someone types in your web address (such as www.affordable-servers.com), the Internet connects to the web server holding your website files and then transfers your website information back to their computer.

They're actually called EIG right now. But I still haven't gotten the chance yet though to check how their support is doing.

chrisgeitz , OP is just asking what is the webhosting, not for a promotion of a company.. You could explain, that web hosting is a service, people renting to put their websites on it, so they'll be available online 24x7. Web hosting also includes email , web disk space, database storage and other useful features to manage web site.
Cheers!

Web hosting is basically where you will be storing your files. It's space on a server that will 'hold' your content so that it can be publicly accessed.
Your web host is also responsible to make sure your site never goes down, and they control the amount of bandwidth it consumes.
