Dedicated hosting - Managed environment
Co-Location - hosting allows a business to still own their own server equipment; however, instead of
storing it in their own data centre, they instead are able to store it in rented space in a colocation hosting centre.Cloud Hosting - Cloud hosting services provide hosting for websites on virtual servers, which pull their computing resource from extensive underlying networks of physical web servers.

operate.Public Cloud - where cloud services are provided in a virtualised environment, constructed using pooled
shared physical resources, and accessible over a public network such as the internet.Hybrid - integrated cloud service utilising both private and public clouds to perform distinct functions within the same organisation.
