What does It Takes To Host Website

please can someone tell me how long it takes to host website.
and posibly the procedure.
i have a friend that have being posting for last 2 months over hosting my website

dEAR WYT,

all you have to do is buy a hosting space from a hosting company, do ur domain registration and then host the domain. Using the ftp details, username and password, you then publish ur already designed site to the web using an ftp software or dreamweaver. Both hosting and domain registration should not cost upto 6k

For more information  on how to go about this if you are not clear, please email me on midje@ieee.org or call me on (07033034783)

please do not call me at mid night and please identity ur self properly

I hope this helps
