Web Hosting Types

There are several web hosting types:

• shared web hosting – several web sites are hosted on one server computer, sharing resources like processor, RAM, bandwidth and running single operating system. The most economical option for hosting, as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance (4-20 $/month)
• virtual private server (VPS), also called virtual dedicated server(VDS) - one physical server computer is partitioned into multiple servers where each has the appearance and capabilities of running on its own dedicated machine. Each virtual server can run its own full-fledged operating system, and each server can be independently rebooted. VPS is more flexible and powerful than shared hosting, for more demanding purposes (20-75 $/month)
• dedicated server - the client leases entire server not shared with anyone. The most flexible and powerful web hosting service (75-500 $/month)
• others – off-topic (server collocation, clustered hosting ...)
