All websites run on an Operating System (OS) which is a system software that manages a computer’s memory and processes along with its hardware and software and provides common services for computer programs.

Space refers to the amount of hard drive space that a web hosting company make accessible to its users. When hosting a website, this becomes an important aspect to consider because it offers the storage required to hold your website. All the data of your website has to be stored somewhere on your web host's server. HTML pages do not usually consume much disk space but the images, scripts and databases can consume large amounts of disk space.

Bandwidth/transfer is the amount of data that the server will allow your site to transmit in a month. This transfer is usually measured in gigabytes or billions of bytes. Once you exceed your monthly limit, your web host may either shut your site down for the remaining days of the month or charge you an overage fee.

There are several ways to upload your website. The most popular is FTP. FTP access is a method of transferring files from hard drive to web server. FTP access to files is offered by both Linux and Windows. There are other ways to upload your website, including Secure Shell (SSH) or uploading files through your browser. SSH access is generally offered by Linux only.

When your hosting account is created, you are provided with an FTP account. Using software such as CuteFTP or WS_FTP, you can log into your host. Next, you can use the program like any Windows program and drag and drop files onto your web host's server. These files become live online instantaneously.
