Types of web hosting

1. Free web hosting service: This is a free service and sometimes comes as advertisement-supported web hosting.
2. Shared web-hosting service: With this many web sites share the same server. Usually the domains might share a common pool of server resources, like CPU and the RAM.
3. Reseller web hosting: This allows the client to web host himself. Resellers can function for single domains with any combination of these types of hosting, depending on the affiliated provider. These accounts vary greatly in size and at times have their own virtual dedicated server to a co-located server.
4. Virtual Dedicated Server: Dividing a server into virtual servers. With this service each client feels that they have their own dedicated server but they would actually sharing a server.
5. Dedicated hosting service:With this web hosting service every user gets their own web server and has full control over it. But the user does not own the server.
6. Managed hosting service: Here the user gets their own web server but is not given full control over it. But with this service the user is allowed to manage their data through the FTP or other remote management tools. The user is not given full control so that the provider can guarantee the quality of service by not allowing the user to modify the server or create any configuration problems. The server is just leased to the client.
7. Co-location web hosting service: This is similar to the dedicated web hosting service, but the user owns the co-location server. The hosting company just provides the physical space that the server takes but would take care of the server themselves. This is the most expensive and the most powerful type of the web hosting service. In most cases for co-location, the client would have their own administrator visit the data center on site for the hardware upgrades or changes.
8. Clustered hosting: They have multiple servers hosting the same material for better resource utilization.
