Types of hosting

Hosting implies service that provides Internet users with online systems for storing information, images, video, or any content accessible via the web. There are companies which act as hosts to provide this space to the clients. There can be different types of hosting.

• Hosting By Operating Platform:
• Hosting By Web Server Type:
• Hosting by Scripting Technology

• Reseller hosting: designed for those who want to become Web hosts themselves. One web designing company gets a large amount of space and bandwidth that can be divided up among as many sites as the user wants to put on his account. A reseller account is placed on the same server with other reseller accounts, just like with shared hosting but there are fewer accounts.
• Virtual Private Server hosting: Virtual Private Server technology enables one physical server to house several Virtual Environments which behave exactly like an isolated stand-alone server. This is often a much more affordable solution than a dedicated server, normally offering all the same benefits, such as root access.
