An e-mail hosting service is an Internet hosting service that runs e-mail servers. E-mail hosting services usually offer premium_e-mail at a cost as opposed to advertising supported free e-mail or free webmail. E-mail hosting services thus differ from typical end-user e-mail providers such as webmail sites. They cater mostly to demanding e-mail users and Small and Mid Size (SMB) businesses that do now want to administer their own e-mail server. E-mail hosting providers allow for premium_e-mail services along with custom configurations, large number of accounts and use of own domain name.
Small businesses hosting their own domain on a virtual server usually get all of their email needs provided for with their hosting package.

A dedicated hosting service, dedicated server, or managed hosting service is a type of Internet hosting where the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone. This is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. Server administration can usually be provided by the hosting company as an add-on service. In some cases a dedicated server can offer less overhead and a larger return on investment. Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centers, similar to colocation facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems. In contrast to colocation, a dedicated hosting service provides system administration and owns the server itself.
This a more expensive basis for hosting a web site and is usually chosen by larger businesses were site secuity and/or flexibility of use or specialised software is required.

Reseller hosting is a form of web hosting wherein the account owner may split up their alloted hard drive space and bandwidth and resell web hosting. Reseller hosting generally requires little knowledge of web hosting services in order to get started. Reseller hosts are generally not responsible for maintaining web server services, or other maintenance related tasks. This job is held by the owner of the dedicated server in which the reseller host is hosted.
This type of hosting is usually best suited to experienced operators who want to publish multiple websites or who design websites and prefer to also host them for their clients.

Virtual web hosting refers to the process of either name-based or IP-based, virtual web hosting running multiple “virtual” web servers on a single physical host computer. Using this technique, a single computer can host thousands of independent web sites.
Commercial web hosting service providers often use this technique to allow better manageability, efficiency and scalability of their service infrastructure.
Most web sites are hosted on this basis where they share a server with a number of other hosted domains
