Free Web Hosting:-

 Free web hosting services are offered by many companies but the services will be very limited. There can also be advertisements by the hosting service company on your site as the service is free.

Shared Web Hosting:-

Shared web hosting as the name itself demonstrates, is a web hosting service in which many domains share a common server. That means each website owner or client is given specific amount of space on the server. This space on the server allocated to each user is called as Web Space. That means the users are sharing the web space of that particular server.

Dedicated Web Hosting:-

In this type of hosting service, the client gets the full access over the server. No other website or domain is hosted on that server.  In dedicated hosting service, the user doesn’t own the server, however gains full control over the server.

Cloud hosting:-

Cloud hosting is creating quiet a buzz these days. In cloud hosting service, you only pay for what you use. If nobody is using or viewing your site, you don’t need to pay. It is very much similar to your water bill or taxi meter. When you use them, the meter keeps running and when u are done using, the meter stops and you don’t need to pay until you use it again.

In cloud hosting, the data is stored on different servers unlike dedicated or shared hosting services, where data is stored on single server. Data is retrieved from different servers when a user requests for it. This is more advanced hosting service and is gaining more popularity these days.
