Types of Web Hosting

A few free web hosts have a essential package for free (e.g. Freewebs), and superior packages (with more features) for a price. This allows users to try the service for a preliminary trial to see how it performs compared to other hosts, and then upgrade when and if needed.
  • Shared web hosting service: one's Web site is positioned on the same server as many other sites, ranging from a few to hundreds or thousands. Characteristically, all domains may share a common pool of server resources, such as RAM and the CPU. More than one illustration of the same web service is hosted on a single physical server. This is generally the most cost-effective option for hosting as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance.

Resellers are also permitted to decide their own pricing structure and even institute their own branding.
