Types Of Web Hosting

• There are three main categories of web hosting -
• Shared Hosting
• Dedicated Server Hosting
• Colocated Server Hosting

Shared Hosting

• Shared hosting works by multiple websites on one
  server. Some have compared shared hosting to a
  public bus system, because it is cheap to use,
  and involves sharing resources with other users.
  Hundreds or even thousands of websites can be
  hosted on a single server, which creates
  advantages and disadvantages.

Dedicated Server Hosting

• Dedicated Server hosting means your website/blog
  is hosted on a single server that is dedicated
  specifically to your website/blog. This cuts out
  the competition of resources associated with
  shared hosting, and results in more robust
  website performance.

Colocated Server Hosting

• Colocated Server Hosting gives you the greatest
  flexibility. You get to choose the hardware
  arrangement of the server and the software that
  goes on it. The hosting company maintains the
  connection to the Internet and environmental
  details such as fire controls, and air
  conditioning. On the other hand, you're
  responsible for that server's maintenance.
