I will try to list the names of Different types of web hosting services and also provide some description of each of them.
Share Hosting
The Shared Hosting is most popular on the Internet since this is cheap and targeted to the general purpose website. In most of the case Shared Hosting includes PHP & MySQL, which is sufficient to create good dynamic website. Shared hosting is also very cheap compared to dedicated or VPS hosting. If you have simple website you should always select a shared hosting company for hosting your website.

VPS Hosting
The VPS Hosting is also known as Virtual Private Server Hosting. The VPS hosting is much cheaper then dedicated hosting. It is equivalent to the dedicated hosting except it is on the virtual server. In this hosting also root access is given to the client. You should choose this hosting if your requirement is for dedicated hosting but you don't actually need the processing power of dedicated server.
