Web Site Hosting
Hosting requires a good computer, a good connection 
to the Internet and most of all reliability. Even simple sites want to be on-line virtually 100% of the time. This requires that the server be housed in a secure, air-conditioned room, have multiple high bandwidth connections to the internet and be staffed 7 x 24 x 365. Further, you need to know that if there is a problem, that it will be taken care of quickly. You need to know that back-ups are done daily onto separate hard drives.
But like a lot of things, people shop for Hosts based on their spec. It's common to offer unlimited storage and unlimited bandwidth but if you read the vendor's terms of service, you'll find that in practical cases you are limited by CPU capacity or the actual usage of the site. In the end, you get what you pay for.
