The background for a web page can be any size. The size is often determined as a result of the design for the overall page. If the window is larger than the image, it will be tiled to repeat indefinitely in both directions, to fit the window.
Because the size of the browser window can vary greatly, most web backgrounds are tiled so they can repeat indefinitely without noticeable "seams" where the image begins/ends.
In the 90s it was customary to use square images of about 256x256 pixels, reminiscent of
the backgrounds used for desktop wallpaper. Modern site design prefers instead a thin, long image which is tiled to give the appearance of a simpler repeated pattern, such as diagonal stripes or gradients. These images can range between 1-10 pixels for the short side and as long as the pattern calls for on the long side. CSS can be used to stretch the image to the width and/or height of the window and remain fixed with respect to the browser window.
There is also a tradeoff to consider when deciding on a background image size -- smaller images can be transferred across the network faster, but larger images can provide more detail.
