The internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web is known as web hosting service. This is one function of your dedicated server.
There are various types of webhosting:
Free web hosting is ideal for small sites with low traffic, like personal sites. It is not recommended for high traffic or for real business. Technical support is often limited, and technical options are few.
Positive features:

  • Low cost or sometimes even free
  • Good for family, hobby or personal site
  • Free email is available

2. Shared (virtual) hosting is very cost effective; your web site gets its own domain name, and is hosted on a powerful server along with maybe 100 other web sites. Shared solutions often offer multiple software solutions like e-mail, database, and different editing options.
Positive features:

  • Low cost for it is shared with others
  • Multiple software application
  • Use own domain name
  • Good technical support

3. Dedicated hosting is the most expensive option as it is best suited for large web sites with high traffic, and uses special software. You should expect dedicated hosting to be very powerful and secure.
Positive features:

  • Good for big business
  • Ideal for high traffic
  • Use multiple domain name
  • Has powerful email solution
  • Gives strong software support

4. Collocated Hosting lets you place your own web server on the premises (locations) of a service provider. This is pretty much the same as running your own server in your own office, only that it is located at a place better designed for it.
Positive features:

  • High bandwidth
  • High uptone
  • High security
  • Unlimited software options

Your choice of web hosting for your dedicated server depends on the size of your business, your needs and capability.
