How can i host a file ?

It basically means: copy (upload) a file to another computer which is permanently connected to the internet (a server).

A simple way of doing this is getting a dropbox account: http://dropbox.com/

If you want to host an image to for example add it to a forum post or something like that, check out http://imgur.com/

For quick file hosting, try mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/

It requires registration, but afterwards you can simply pick a file on your hard drive and it will get uploaded. After the upload is done, you'll get a link to the file, which you can give to other people to download it.

Hosting means makng it available form a server for others to use. Normally tat refers to tings like web sotes. But under that eading any file for download is hosted by the siste. For file hosting you would need to have a public static IP address, which costs more through your ISP and they would probably also want you to subscribe to a business broadband account. That can cost 4 to 5 times the cost of home broadband. You ten need to set up some kind of server in your network to permit external access. That also resents security risks to your network so you will need to make sure you get your security right.

Hosting mean to register your website or files on internet. which can use any where.
