The cost is low and this type of shared hosting is suitable for small business. The web servers are powerful and are maintained by experts to guarantee 99 percent uptime. The cost for shared web hosting can be around 5-20 USD per month.
Dedicated Web Hosting
In dedicated web hosting, an entire web server and storage space is allocated for a single website or single client. The customer can either store a single website or multiple websites on the server. They have the power to install their own operating system and change the software configurations. The dedicated web server is more powerful and can support very high bandwidth. The cost can range from 200 to 500 USD per month. It is suitable for websites with millions of users.
Co-location Web hosting
In dedicated web hosting, the web servers are owned by hosting providers and are just rented by customers. But in co-location hosting, the physical web server will be owned by the customer itself and is just housed by the data center of the hosting provider. The customer can have complete control over the hardware and software of the server and can get maintenance from hosting provider. The cost can range from 500 to 1000 USD per month.
Reseller Web hosting
When it comes to reseller hosting, the customer obtains a storage space from hosting provider at a low price and then resells them to his/her customers. Usually web developers, web designers and consultants do this type of reseller hosting and make some money from their customers.
