Dedicated Hosting
Standard Web Hosting:
You pay for a specific amount of server space on a Web hosting system, and they provide you with high-speed servers, software, and other amenities.
Some things to look for in a standard Web hosting package:
1. Bandwidth charges – if you expect your site to get a lot of page views, make sure that there aren’t limits or extra charges.
2. Server software – most paid hosting services offer some types of software for you to use including CGI, PHP, and Weblogs.
3. Administrative access – some hosts provide you with a Web-based console, and others allow you to telnet in to the server. Both work fine, but make sure if you want one style in particular that your host provides it.
4. Operating system – the OS your Web site is on can affect what software can run. It’s a good idea to know what you’re on and learn the difference between Windows and Linux hosting.

Dedicated Web hosting is where you get your own server machine for your site’s exclusive use. In most dedicated hosting situations, the site owner will get root access to the server to make changes and control the site, but that depends upon the host. Some hosts provide an admin console or access through their helpdesk technicians.
Dedicated Web hosting is good for businesses that need more space or more control over the Web site. When you’re on a machine that isn’t being used by any other Web site, you know what is happening on the machine – standard hosts run the risk of having one site get hacked which provides access to all the other sites on that server.
Colocation
Colocation server:
It is just like dedicated where the server machine is dedicated to your site’s exclusive use. But in this case, you own the hardware – not the hosting company. Instead, what you are renting is the physical space in their facility and the high-speed Internet connection.
Besides this there is also Managed and Unmanaged colocation.Managed colocation, you pay for the server space and a team from your hosting company to manage your server for you. This is great for companies that want the control of colocation but don’t have an IT department to manage the server. Unmanaged is where you handle all the administration and management of the server yourself, including software updates, the Web server, and the site itself.
Ecommerce Web Hosting
Ecommerce Web hosting can be any of the above types of Web hosting, but it adds in another dimension: SSL or secure socket layer. If you’re going to sell something on the Web you’ll need to have a secure server to protect your customers.
Weblog Hosting – Many companies offer Weblogs and blog hosting rather than a Web site specifically. These are typically less expensive than Standard Web hosting, but you’re limited to a Web site that can be built with their blog software.
File and Image Hosting – some hosting services offer file and image storage, but not Web sites. These are great for file access and image storage, but you can’t put a Web site up on them.
