They're kind of like directories, except you have to put in a closing tag
(and keep track of rows and columns). Note, the code below does this:
<frameset 1...<frameset 2, etc. The numbering is for clarity in the example,
you won't use the numbers in your real code.
<frameset 1 rows="100,*"> contains
<frame 1> and
<frameset 2 cols="150,*> which contains
<frame 2> and
<frame 3>
</frameset> close frameset 2
</frameset> close the outer set, frameset 1
This will draw:
-----------------------------|
frame 1 |
-----------------------------|
frame 2 | frame 3 |
| |
-----------------------------|
Framesets can be broken up into either columns or rows. In this example,
frameset one is broken into two rows. The first row has an html page in it,
the 2nd row contains another frameset that has two columns. The 2 columns
are each html pages. So you need 4 html files for this example:
1. the outermost one, which maps out the frameset(s)
2. an html page for frame 1
3. an html page for frame 2
4. an html page for frame 3

Your sample doesn't look like the one you asked about, but I put up sample
code that will do what you want at:
http://www.infusiondesign.com/examples/frametest.html
Resize the window to see how the scrollbars show up when needed.

Give each frame a name in your top frameset code:
<frame name="nav">
<frame name="content"> etc.
These are referred to as targets in your links:
<a href="hosting.html" target="content"><img src...></a>
Clicking on that image will load hosting.html into the frame named
"content". It gets trickier if you want to change two frames with one click.
For that you need to load a new frameset or use javascript.
