There is a whole range of service levels in web hosting. These can roughly be broken down like this:

* Shared hosting ($4 to $10/month): this is the most common kind of hosting. A very large server will host the websites of several
different clients. Each client has it’s own account though and is isolated from other clients.
* VPS (Virtual Private Servers) ($30 to $100/month): Again a large server will host several websites but this time, the sites are
strongly isolated by each other as if they were actually on different servers. This is needed if you have high security constraints.
* Dedicated Servers ($100 to $450/month): Here you get a whole physical server for yourself. That is very comfortable, fast and
secure… but pricey!

Generally you will always want to start with shared hosting, knowing you can always upgrade later. Shared hosting gives you professional
web hosting capabilities at the fraction of the price of a dedicated server.
