SHARED WEB HOSTING
A single, server which is shared with by many clients of a hosting company. Generally, this is the cheapest web hosting solution, good for small to medium size websites.
DEDICATED WEB HOSTING
This works well large high-traffic websites, bespoke development projects creating complex / detailed web based applications, and websites that require a high degree of uptime and total control of the hosting environment.
MANAGED HOSTING
This uses the dedicated web hosting features and from technical point of view adds various extra services. More expensive than dedicated hosting, as it can be more complex to operate technically and requires skilled knowledge regarding server maintenance and system administration.
THE VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER
For web hosting clients who may like the features of a dedicated server on a smaller scale with cheaper rates. The resources are setup in such a way that each person, even though they are sharing CPU, memory, and bandwidth, are allocated their own dedicated file system. This is safer than sharing, if a website on the server is hacked; the hackers will only have access to that particular file system and would not harm the other Websites. It is cheaper than dedicated hosting but more costly than shared.
CO-LOCTATED HOSTING
Allows complete control of the server and access to all of its resources. Allows its clients to use bespoke hardware and software for hosting. Commonly this is the most expensive hosting.
