Here is another video in a developing collection of youtube videos that features tutorials and useful explanations of web site hosting. In this video, TheInternetEducator talks about how website hosting works, how much it costs, and some of the issues that can come up (and have to be dealt with).

All about web site hosting and how it works. This is segment 3 of a 5 part internet seminar. You can download handouts at my web site: http://www.theinterneteducator.com/se…

Now, if you grew up in an era before the internet, you might be predisposed to hit a book store or even Amazon books and attempt to learn about website hosting from a book or a text book.

On this topic, that is actually not a good idea. Many bookstores will often feature books that are several years out of date (especially discounted books). If you try and learn the fundamentals of website hosting from a book, you are very likely going to learn some outdated information that may not be very useful today at all.

At a very minimum, I recommend that you do your initial research on the internet, and once you have learned some of the basics, if you still must walk through a book to learn more, you will hopefully at least be able to recognize an old outdated book from an up to date book.

Here’s a very informative 4 minute video from AskMisterWizard that walks through the fundamentals of hosting servers on the internet yourself. If you are looking for information to walk you through the basics of setting up your own server whether it is to host web pages, or host a printing server or email server etc, this video and the discussion it covers will help get you started in the right direction.

Hosting Servers on the Internet, using resources from www.AskMisterWizard.com
How to set up a game server, a file server, a print server, a web server, or an Internet voice server so that others can access it from the Internet. References other resources from www.AskMisterWizard.com that viewers will find helpful. Discusses Static IP address, Dynamic IP address, Port Forwarding, Dynamic DNS, NAT Router as a hardware firewall, and Internet Connection Sharing.

The video does cover the following three principals

Assign a static (unchanging) local IP address to each server host
Use “Port Forwarding” to prepare your router for incoming traffic
Advertise the public IP address of your router

Again this is just a fundamental over view,but the graphics and the dialogue can help you determine if you are barking up the right tree whether you are trying to configure a hosting server at home or for your school website or even if you are trying to run a site advertising fat burner or other commercial products available at a micro level.
