Dedicated Web Hosting
A dedicated hosting service is a type of internet hosting where you gets an entire server that is not shared with anyone else. Dedicated web hosting is more flexible as compared to shared hosting services as the business will have full control over the server they are using including the hardware, operating system and more!

Virtual Web Hosting

The term virtual hosting is used to refer to the web servers, however, the principles do represents other internet services as well.
Virtual hosting is cheaper than dedicated web hosting as many websites will have the same IP address. With this hosting service, you can have control over e-mail names and sub domains along with many other features which you cannot get with shared hosting. Many mid-sized businesses choose to go for virtual hosting as it helps their website to perform better.
There are two different types of Virtual Hosting, namely:
- IP Based
- Name Based

The server can open separate listening sockets for each IP address and obtain the IP address. In this way, the IP address determines which website to serve.
Name based virtual host uses the same IP address for multiple host name. However, the biggest issue that people opting for name based virtual hosting system is that it becomes difficult to host multiple secure websites running SSL/TLS.
