. The service is categorized into 5 types.
- Virtual. A single physical server on which many websites are deployed. They can belong to one owner or several. Users have the same rights in relation to the dedicated resources, but the administration is carried out by the provider, not the customer.
- Virtual.
- Virtual dedicated server. The customer is provided with a dedicated part of disk space and fixed computing resources of the server. The owner receives administrator rights, which allows him to independently configure and modify the software.
- Cloud server and hosting. Similar to the previous type, only the resources are allocated not on a physical server, but on a virtual one. Fault tolerance of the service is due to the presence of a server cluster. In case of failure of one server, the load is distributed to the others.

The price for hosting is calculated for each client individually depending on the resources provided. For example, virtual hosting – the most budgetary, and a dedicated server is an order of magnitude more expensive.
