same computer, sometimes on the same IP address.

onhuge scale in companies whose business model is to give low cost
website hosting for customers. The vast majority of such web hosting
service customer websites worldwide are hosted on shared servers,
using virtual hosting technology.
Virtual Dedicated Server: slicing
up a server into virtual servers. each user feels like they're on
their own dedicated server, but they're actually sharing a server
with many other users.
Dedicated hosting service: the user
gets his or her own Web server and gains full control over it .however,
the user typically does not own the server. Colocation web hosting
service: similar to the dedicated web hosting service, but the user
owns the server; the hosting company provides physical space that
the server takes up and takes care of the server. This is the most
powerful and expensive type of the web hosting service. In most
cases, the colocation provider may provide little to no support
directly for their client's machine, providing only the electrical,
Internet access, and storage facilities for the server.
Clustered hosting: having multiple servers hosting the same content
for better resource utilization.
