Shared web hosting - the most popular type of web-hosting. One advantage of the service is its cost and ease of implementation. User receives a portion of disk space and a set of specific software. |
Dedicated Server - type of hosting, which provides a separate physical machine for the server. The server has its own disk space, memory, processor and other resources. |
Linux / Unix web hosting |
 |
Linux / Unix hosting - the most common and most affordable option. Ideal for placement of both static web-sites, and web-sites using PHP, Perl, MySQL, etc. |

VDS / VPS |
 |
Virtual Dedicated Server (VDS) emulates a single physical server. Multiple virtual servers can run on a single machine, so the cost of VDS is much cheaper than renting a dedicated server. |
