• Shared hosting or shared hosting : Your website shares a server with several other sites, sometimes up to several thousands, and this in order to share costs. Besides the financial benefits of this type of accommodation, the client is not shared its server administrator and must go through the host for example, adding a particular technology on it. On the other hand, the resource sharing server system with multiple sites is that if one of them is particularly resource-intensive, all sites on the server is assigned. Note that in certain configurations of shared hosting, the user can be administrator of a virtual server where the site is deployed.

• The hosting “reseller” allows clients to become web hosts themselves. A dealer can work with any combination of categories énnoncées here, as the host with which it is affiliated. The hosting “reseller” may vary considerably in size.They may for example have their own virtual server and used to shared hosting.

• The Virtual Hosting: A server is divided into several virtual servers (using techniques of computer virtualization) that manages each client’s server at its convenience. Customers can access the root to their own virtual space. This is also known as virtual private server or VPS.

• The Dedicated Hosting : The client has its own server and can administer it as he wishes (root access for access Linux / Windows Administrator), however, the server provider is the server owner.

• The dedicated hosting so-called “managed”, “managed hosting” or “turnkey” The client has its own server but do not support, technicians involved in the host’s management system. This solution is perfect if you have any technical knowledge of his administration. Simply submit its site. This type of accommodation is trying to adapt to the needs.The client does not have the server in general, but leases it to the host.

• The roommate: The host space available to the client’s data center so that it will establish its own server within a special cupboard (called a rack or bay). In addition to equipment storage, the host also provides electricity and Internet access to connect the server to the network. In most cases the host does not provide customer support, and therefore it is the customer’s own administrator who regularly comes home to care for the host updates or hardware changes.This is supposed to cost less, as the rental of the server is not understood, but systems and security badges in the data center ultimately cost often more expensive than renting.

• Clustered Hosting: The client has multiple servers hosting the same content for better resource utilization. Clustered Servers are a perfect solution for an availability of 100%.

• The hosting “house” (a server located in your home): a simple machine, racordée a wide bandwidth (eg fiber) from a private residence is used to host one or more websites. The machines used as server “home” can be machines “tailor” or simply and more generally a relatively old PC. It should be noted that some providers block servers “home” by rejecting incoming requests on port 80 and refusing to provide static IP addresses. The solution generally used for the famous static IP and create an account with a dynamic DNS provider that automatically change the IP address of your server with a static IP that you provide.
