Even I am new to web hosting but I can guide you on the different web hosting solutions:

Shared hosting: Shared hosting is mainly preferred by startups or bloggers as it offers enough resources for them to meet the hosting needs.

VPS hosting: VPS hosting is the next option to switch after shared hosting. Businesses mainly shift to VPS when they outgrow their shared server and want an affordable option just like shard hosting.

Dedicated hosting: Dedicated hosting is designed for those who want independent hosting environment and complete control over their server. It is a bit costly than shared and VPS hosting.

Reseller hosting: It is the best option for those who want to earn extra. Specially web designers and web developers can earn extra by selling web hosting services to their clients with their web development services.

Cloud hosting: Cloud hosting is preferred by businesses that require scalability and flexibility in terms of resource usage. It offers pay per usage feature and is preferred by big organizations.

WordPress hosting: This is the best hosting option by WordPress users. It offers all the features required for a WordPress website.

 The web hosting solutions depends on your needs. Following are the types of web hosts :
(1) Shared hosting – In shared hosting multiple websites are hosted on a single server and all the resources available are distributed among them. This type of hosting is useful for the start-ups, beginners, web hosting and web developer learners, bloggers those who wish to host a single website and doesn't expect more amount of traffic on it.

There are two types of hosting services one is managed web hosting and second, is un-managed web hosting service.

In managed web hosting, your web hosting provider manages the operation of the server and other related issues. Under this type of web hosting service, you only need to focus on the expansion of your business. If you're a newbie or don't have that much time to manage your server then you can consider managed web hosting.

The un-managed web hosting is completely opposite than managed web hosting service. If you're aware of management of server and all technical aspects related to the server then you can consider unmanaged web hosting. Here, you only pay for service and your web hosting provider is not offering any other service like support service or help to solve your query.

There are different types of hosting services available in the online market, Here I am listing some of very popular:

• Shared Hosting
• Virtual Private Server (VPS)
• Reseller Hosting
• Dedicated Hosting
• Cloud Hosting

Shared Hosting : In shared hosting, more than one website is hosted on the same server, ranging from a few to hundreds or thousands. Generally, all domains may share common provisions of physical server resources, such as RAM and the CPU.
It is a very basic and economical type of hosting service, most of the entry level or moderate traffic levels websites are hosted on this type of hosting environment. Shared hosting is also broadly taken as the entry level hosting choice as it needs minimum technical knowledge.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting : A virtual private server hosting partitions a server into the number of virtual servers, where each partition acts like a dedicated server. But they're actually sharing a physical server with an only few various other users.
The user to that virtual private server may have root access of their own virtual space and get a highly secure hosting environment for their websites with this type of hosting service. In this type of hosting environment, the user can host multiple websites.

Reseller Hosting : Reseller hosting enables you to create sub-accounts within your web hosting account. These created sub-accounts act as an individual web hosting account, suitable for hosting personal and business websites.
You can create the web hosting accounts as per your convenience and also allocates the hosting resource. This is the best hosting option if you want to start your own web hosting business at very low budget.

Dedicated Server Hosting : A dedicated server gives the highest control on the web server. In that hosting environment, you'll get a whole server authority. So, you can manage all hosting resources of your server.
Dedicated servers are extremely expensive than any other hosting services and it's only suggested to those who need maximum control and better security and server performance.

Cloud Hosting : Cloud hosting allows an unlimited capability to manage high traffic or traffic spikes. This allows various computers to work together to handle high traffic levels or spikes for any appropriate website.
Cloud hosting booming nowadays, because it gives real-time scalability and reliability. It also gives an option like load balancing so, very rarely you're website gets a downtime.

The types of web hosting are as follows:

• Shared hosting:

Shared hosting is exactly what it sounds like. With a shared hosting account, your site is located on the same server as a bunch of other websites.

• VPS hosting:

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server. It is among the most well-balanced among the different types of web hosting. A VPS server is still a shared environment, but the way it is set up is very dissimilar.

• Dedicated hosting:

AS the name already suggests, dedicated hosting simply means this: you have a server all for yourself.

• Cloud hosting:

Cloud hosting is essentially the same as VPS hosting in that you also have your site on a virtual machine.
