Web hosting is a service that allows organizations and individuals to post a website or web page onto the Internet. A web host, or web hosting service provider, is a business that provides the technologies and services needed for the website or webpage to be viewed in the Internet. Websites are hosted, or stored, on special computers called servers.Listed below are the main types of web hosting services.

Dedicated Server

Dedicated server means you are provided a server(on rent) from a hosting company and have full control over it .It is used when your company or business have a lot of website traffic. Dedicated server is costly when compared to other shared hosting.

Shared Hosting

Sharded hosting means the website is hosted on a server which also has other websites hosted in it. It is cheap and good for new sites which didn’t have a lot of traffic initially.

Virtual Private Server

Virtual private servers means sharing one physical server but acts like multiple, separate servers. A VPS is a stepping stone between shared hosting and getting your own dedicated machine.The difference between shared hosting and VPS is that the customers have the full control over their hosting plan.

Colocation Web Hosting

Colocation web hosting means renting rackspace from a datacenter in which they provide power, physical security, and an internet uplink. But datacenter is not responsible for any server issues ,storage or hardware problem. If hardware fails, you’re responsible for replacing it and getting the server back up and running.

Cloud Based Web Hosting

Cloud Based Web Hosting is a type of hosting which virtual resouces of large number of servers work together and act as a single server.The main advantage of cloud hosting is you can easily integrate resources like space, RAM ,etc based on the traffic that helps the website growth.
