An ISP or Internet Service Provider is a business that provides a subscriber access to the internet backbone in return for a fee. They are typically telecommunications companies and so you may buy a bundle of services including telephone and TV. In the UK the main ones are BT, Talktalk, Virgin media and Sky. So the ISP enables you to see the many servers that are out there on the internet. The servers that hold or host the content and websites.

The term hosting refers to renting space and bandwidth/usage on these servers. This is similar to  your home telephone where you would have a line rental and call charges.

The owners of content or websites rent space and usage of these servers to allow other people to find and download the information, videos or audio they have on offer.
