Web hosting services work by storing your website files in high-powered computers (web servers) connected to a very fast network. When someone types in your web address (such as www.midphase.com), the Internet connects to the web server holding your website files and then transfers your website information back to their computer. From there they can surf and view the pages of your website.

Free Shared Hosting - There are companies who will allow you to host your website for free. If you're just experimenting with websites, or if you just have a few personal projects that you want to get online for fun, this might be a good choice. Be aware, however, that free shared hosting tends to be very basic, and tends to look quite cheap and nasty, with pop-ups and banner ads and so on

Paid Shared Hosting - The next step up, of course, is to pay for your shared hosting. Shared hosting simply means that your website sits on a server alongside hundreds, if not thousands, of other websites. This is the option that you're most likely to come across. It's within most individual's price range, and is designed to be easy to access and use.

Dedicated Hosting/Dedicated Servers - Dedicated hosting means that you're paying for exclusive use of your own server. That means greater security, speed, bandwidth and traffic capacity for your website, but it also means greater expense. It tends to be the option favored by larger businesses. Co-location is a type of dedicated hosting, which means that a server is built and designed for your specific needs. As you might expect, this is a very expensive option indeed, and only used by large corporations, government concerns, academic institutions and so on.

Virtual Dedicated Servers/Virtual Private Servers - This type of web hosting involves dividing up space on one actual server into several virtual servers. For all intents and purposes, you're buying your own dedicated server, it just happens to physically exist on the same computer as several other users. You get all the benefits of a dedicated server, but for a fraction of the cost.

Free Web hosting: Free services work best for private Web pages, small-audience blogs and static websites because you have limited control. Your choices of monetization strategies will be restricted because free services will run their own ads to earn money.

[Joes2966]

Shared Hosting: These services share dedicated server resources with multiple users. Sharing a server results in some security risks, smaller processing capacity and fewer software- and database-support options. Prices are more affordable for smaller needs, and you do get better administrative control and more monetization options.
