Private/Dedicated Hosting With dedicated hosting, you get a server of your own. They have no restrictions, except for those designed to maintain the integrity of the Web host's network. Unless a separate management plan is purchased from the host, the user is also generally on his own. This can be an expensive proposition, as the purchase of the dedicated server itself is generally far more expensive compared to shared hosting. 1075 plans available |

Co-Located Hosting This involves a server the user purchases himself and installs at the host's data center. Besides unmonitored reboots, the user must pay extra for many services dedicated hosting provides by default. Co-located hosting is generally chosen by people with server administration experience and those with more significant needs than which can be satisfied by dedicated or shared hosting. 237 plans available |

Shared/Virtual Server Hosting Web site is placed on the same server as several hundred other sites. A problem with another site on the server can bring all of the sites down. Shared hosting also brings with it some restrictions regarding what exactly can be done, although these restrictions are nowhere near as restrictive as for free hosting. 8983 plans available |
