what is hosting?

1. the computer space on the internet that stores your website
2. the fast and reliable connection of that space to the internet
3. making sure your website is available 24/7
4. provision of various other services, such as file transfer (ftp) and email

can I get free hosting?

Yes, free hosting is available, but not from us! Free hosting is usually very basic, the service can be unreliable, the files are not usually backed up, may include advertising and may require you to use a funny web address. And there's no technical support. We reckon that free hosting is perfectly OK for many home sites but not for business sites.
