Web hosting is the act of putting your web project on a computer in the web somewhere. Think of it as if you were selling out of town, and decided to spend a week at a friend's house. Your friend is your host, and the fact that he hosts you at his place, comes with a lot of advantages, for example access to a shower, a kitchen where you can prepare your own food etc.
So your web project, be it a website, e-commerce site, custom web application etc.. also needs to be hosted somewhere in order to be accessible to the world. This somewhere is a computer called a server, which has for main characteristic to be always on (so that our site is accessible 24/24).
