*Free Web Hosting: Free web hosting services are free of cost and can come in a packages offered by the web hosts.
*Cheap / Budget Web Hosting: This kind of hosting is different from free hosting as website owners or client need to pay a very nominal fee to the web hosts.
*Shared Web Hosting: The basic idea behind shared web hosting is distributing the web server among multiple websites. These kind of shared services often offer large number of services like email, database and more.
*Dedicated Web Hosting: The website is hosted in a single server dedicated for that client only. This server is not shared with any one else all the benefits of the server can be experience by the single owner.
*Colocated Web Hosting: Colocation refers to "co-location". This is a solution which enables a user to place (locate) his/her own web server within the premises of a web hosting service provider.
