Full-featured hosting

Full-featured hosting services include:

• Dedicated hosting service, also called managed hosting service, where the hosting service provider owns and manages the machine, leasing full control to the client. Management of the server can include monitoring to ensure the server continues to work effectively, backup services, installation of security patches and various levels of technical support.
• Virtual private server, in which virtualization technology is employed in order to allow multiple logical servers to run on a single physical server
• Colocation facilities, which provide just the Internet connection, uninterruptible power and climate control, but let the client do his own system administration; the most expensive
