In order to host a dynamic database-driven website created with Dreamweaver, you need to find a web hosting company (sometimes referred to as an "Internet service provider" or "ISP") that supports one of Dreamweaver's server-side technologies: ColdFusion (CF), Active Server Pages (ASP), ASP.NET, JavaServer Pages (JSP) or PHP. Not all web hosting companies offer support for all of these server-side technologies, therefore some research should be done before choosing a hosting company.
Note: Special application server software needs to be installed on the web hosting company's web servers in order to process the server-side application logic and database connectivity. Examples of application server software include: Macromedia ColdFusion MX, Macromedia JRun 4 Server, Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), Apache Jakarta-Tomcat, PHP, etc.
HTML websites
If your website does not use a database to generate dynamic content, which most likely means you are not creating ColdFusion, ASP, ASP.NET, JSP or PHP pages, then this TechNote may be too limited in its scope for you. There are numerous resources available on the web to help you find a web hosting company that will host traditional HTML sites. The links in the web hosting opinion and advice sites section below may help you in your search.
Databases
In addition to application server support, another factor to keep in mind is database support, especially if your web application is utilizing a server-based database such as Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL or Oracle. Not all web hosting companies support all databases. If you are using a Microsoft Access database, it is recommended to go with a web hosting company that uses Windows servers versus UNIX servers, since it is difficult to find Access database drivers for UNIX.
Research
Research the web hosting company that would best suit the needs of your web application. Macromedia technical support has prepared a list below of web hosting companies that we have come across through our own research and by word-of-mouth. In addition to the list below, we recommend using a search engine or a web hosting advice site to research the different web hosting companies. There are a wide range of services offered by web hosting companies, and some will even host your site for free. Another good resource for researching web hosting companies is the Dreamweaver newsgroup. You can post a question on the Dreamweaver newsgroup or search among the archived newsgroup postings usingGoogle Groups, to find out what other Dreamweaver users have to say about the various web hosting companies.

shared hosting:
A shared web hosting service or virtual hosting service or derive host refers to a web hosting service where many websites reside on one web server connected to the Internet. Each site "sits" on its own partition, or section/place on the server to keep it separate from other sites. This is generally the most economical option for hosting, as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance.
The hosting service must include system administration since it is shared by many users; this is a benefit for users who do not want to deal with it, but a hindrance to power users who want more control. In general shared hosting will be inappropriate for users who require extensive software development outside what the hosting provider supports. Almost all applications intended to be on a standard web server work fine with a shared web hosting service. But on the other hand, shared hosting is cheaper than other types of hosting such as dedicated server hosting. Shared hosting usually has usage limits and most hosting providers have extensive reliability features in place. [1]
Shared hosting typically uses a web-based control panel system, such as cPanel, Ensim, DirectAdmin, Plesk, InterWorx, H-Sphere or one of many other control panel products. Most of the large hosting companies use their own custom developed control panel. Control panels and web interfaces can cause controversy however, since web hosting companies sometimes sell the right to use their control panel system to others. Attempting to recreate the functionality of a specific control panel is common, which leads to many lawsuits over patent infringement.[2]
In shared hosting, the provider is generally responsible for managing servers, installing server software, security updates, technical support, and other aspects of the service. Most servers are based on the Linux operating system and LAMP (software bundle), which is driven by the low cost of open source software. But some providers offer Microsoft Windows-based or FreeBSD-based solutions. For example, the Plesk and Ensim control panels are both available for two operating systems, Linux and Windows. Versions for either OS have very similar interfaces and functionality, with the exception of OS-specific differences (for example: ASP.NET, SQL Server and Access support under Windows; MySQL under Linux).
There are thousands of shared hosting providers in the United States alone. They range from mom-and-pop shops and small design firms to multi-million-dollar providers with hundreds of thousands of customers. A large portion of the shared web hosting market is driven through pay per click (PPC) advertising or Affiliate programs.
Shared web hosting can also be done privately by sharing the cost of running a server in a colocation centre; this is called cooperative hosting.

Changing underlayers
Changing underlayer is The risk of building your business on a third-party platform and cites how Amazon, eBay and FaceBook have changed their terms-of-service for markets and services which others have already built atop. Critics of Adobe Flash sometimes say "But it's proprietary!" and worry that Adobe may change the platform out from under them. To some degree I think this is a valid risk to include in your cost/benefit calculations... the upcoming Player security update does change some of the groundrules. But I think Tim's article may benefit from finer definition of the term "platform"... the phrase "risks of third-party services" distinguishes his examples from third-party technology. Adobe can only change distributed runtime capabilities with the audience's consent -- there are million of decentralized decisions each day about whether to install or not. If California fell into the sea tomorrow then Flash Player would continue on, same as before. A third-party data service can implement changes unilaterally, and only needs to convince itself that it will achieve a better business model as a result. I agree with Tim that reliance on a third-party data or marketing service leaves you vulnerable to any changes they might experience -- it's a valid issue to consider -- but the term "platform" can benefit from distinguishing between ongoing services and already-provided capabilities
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation.
