It is a must that a virtual web hosting company to make sure all of the web servers are safe, secure and are fully operational at all times with fire protection on a data center, redundant power backup, virus detections, computer data backup, and complete disaster recovery capabilities.

There are four main type of virtual web hosting companies with different characteristics.  They can be organized into the following categories:

1. Shared hosting

Since the physical web server is shared by many websites, the virtual web hosting provider can afford to offer low hosing prices.  Websites on this shared virtual hosting plan would have to be satisfied to accept slower server response time.  These plans normally start at $5 – $20 a month. In this type of virtual hosting, many websites are sharing space on the same web servers.  Depending on what kind of virtual web host it is, a physical web server can host up to a thousand different websites at one time.  .

2. Dedicated hosting

Dedicated virtual hosting is quite a bit more expensive and starts at $50 a month and can easily range from $200 – $500 a month. Dedicated virtual web hosting assigns a certain web server to be used by a single customer.  So customer has the option to host either single or multiple websites, handle greater site traffic, modify the software configuration, and scale the bandwidth if necessary.  This is often used by high traffic and very important websites.

3. Co-location hosting

In co-location hosting, the client owns the web server hardware.  The customer has full control, therefore, over their web server and benefits from the 24/7 server monitoring and maintenance that is provided by the secure data center.  Co-location virtual hosting can range from $500 – $1000 a month depending on the rack space that is required and the monthly bandwidth. It differs to virtual dedicated hosting, the web server belongs to the providers and customers only rent the web server.

4.  Reseller hosting

In virtual reseller hosting, a discount price  is one of the power a web hosting provider to offer web server storage to a third party at.  The third party then resells the web server storage to their clients.  Resellers are usually web developers, web designers, or a system integration company who resells the web hosting as an add-on service to augment their other range of services.

Many of these shared hosting services give complete services including technical support and also online website creation tools.

If you require broader services from your host, you may need to consider dedicated hosting. However, unlike shared hosting providers, dedicated server hosts are only responsible for hosting services although some provide additional support services at a cost.

If you choose to rent a dedicated server, you will be able to use all the server’s resources as well as renting server space to other websites should you wish to do so.Renting a dedicated server may be worth considering if you expect your website to grow quickly as a result of extensive marketing programs, but thing to remember you should choose webhosting that provides 24/7 technical support and possesses a good reputation for security and minimal server downtime.
