Dedicated Hosting Service: In Dedicated hosting service, one server hosts your website and offers total control. You can host unlimited number of domains. Dedicated web hosting offers carrier neutral bandwidth hosting and has lowest latency among the types of web hosting services offered. It is the most reliable and comprehensive server hosting solution available. The dedicated hosting service is backed up by timely support on 24X7X365 basis and personal account manager.

Shared Server Hosting Service: In this hosting, your website shares space with other websites. The uploading speed of your website can get bit slower as other websites would be sharing the space and potential of the server. If you are sharing space with websites which demand huge bandwidth or memory, the performance and traffic of your website is marred. This is the cheapest form of shared web hosting service available. Most of the web-blogs and small website are hosted on shared basis. Though, nowadays most of the service providers are offering excellent support by the means of antivirus, dedicated team for technical support and control panel.

Virtual Private Server: Virtual web hosting fills the prevalent gap between shared and dedicated hosting. It has features of both shared services but at lesser costs. Since, VPS server runs its own OS and hardware, users have super access and control over website and environment.

Managed Web Hosting Service: Managed web hosting is more or less similar to a dedicated hosting service but without any access to program files. Server management is done by the concerned hosting service provider but you have to manage files and core information, which can be troublesome.

Server Co-location Hosting: In this type of hosting, your site is hosted on a custom made server. You can include RAM, disk space, CPU efficiency as per your liking and business need. You can also request assistance from the service provider or choose to manage the server on your own. For businesses struggling with challenges of uprising costs, limited resources, and turnaround time’s colocation is the best option.

Cloud Hosting: As a user- you host website, hardware or software inside a massive computing infrastructure known as cloud. Used as pay-as-you-go service, you just need to tap the cloud if you want to modify the resources you are using at a moment. A cloud hosting utilizes multi-connected servers which reduces the downtimes considerably. A cloud based hosting is cost efficient and completely scalable.

Warren Contreras   Old Retired Guy Another basic concept that should be added is Reseller Accounts for shared hosting. Contrary to one's first assumption, you do not need to resell to anyone else in order to gain the benefit when you desire to host multiple websites. They can share the expense and lower your cost significantly. Aug 18th 2011 08:59
