I'm thinking of having my own hostees when I get my own domain but my problem is how DO you get your hostees webaddress. I mean, I know all that Pick-me stuff and all that but how do your hostees get a webaddress?? I also know about having multiple ftp accounts.

i create a directory inside the root for the hostee. then give the hostee ftp access to that hostee's directory only.

http://www.domain.com/hostee1
http://www.domain.com/hostee2

hostee1 would only have access to hostee1 directory and hostee2 would only have access to hostee2 directory.

how do you create a directory thing and what is the root?

the root is your main web directory, it's not a big deal that's just what it's called. there should be an option in your ftp client to 'create directory', 'new folder' or something along those lines. my directory structure looks something like this:
web/
  hostee1/
    index.html
  hostee2/
    index.html

the url to both are the same as i should you above:
http://www.domain.com/hostee1/index.html
http://www.domain.com/hostee2/index.html

Q: What is Bandwidth?
Bandwidth represents the amount of data a network can transport in a certain period of time. For digital devices, bandwidth is usually expressed in bits or bytes per second. For analog devices, bandwidth is expressed in cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz).

found on a site. it's basically what free host also say: we give you ##GB of bandwidth of MB or whatever. That's what you can use in a certain period to link, get linked (direct linking also called) etc.

That's why direct linking is not allowed, because with that you kill your own bandwith and YOU are the one that has to pay extra for the things that your visitors do.
