I would like share few types of web hosting. This information will help for beginner while choosing any hosting service.

1. Free Web Hosting:Free web hosting services are free of cost and can come in a packages offered by the web hosts.
2. Cheap / Budget Web Hosting:This kind of hosting is different from free hosting as website owners or client need to pay a very nominal fee to the web hosts.
3. Shared Web Hosting:These kind of shared services often offer large number of services like email, database and more.
4. Dedicated Web Hosting:The website is hosted in a single server dedicated for that client only. This server is not shared with any one else all the benefits of the server can be experience by the single owner.
5. Co located Web Hosting:Colocation refers to "co-location". This is a solution which enables a user to place (locate) his/her own web server within the premises of a web hosting service provider.
6. Managed web hosting:Managed hosting is just a step ahead than the dedicated hosting. This managed web hosting service includes additional features which are not available with the dedicated web hosting.
7. Reseller Web Hosting.:The account owner can make use of his/her allotted bandwidth and hard drive space to host their websites on behalf of third parties.
8. Grid hosting:This type of hosting is essential when the server cluster behaves in the form of a grid and consists of several nodes.
 
And cheap/budget web hosting is the same thing as shared web hosting. The amount you pay is contingent on the extras you order. The extras offered vary vendor to vendor.
 
Some specific types of hosting provided by web host service providers:

File hosting service: hosts files, not web pages
Image hosting service
Video hosting service
Blog hosting service
One-click hosting
Pastebin Hosts text snippets
Shopping cart software
E-mail hosting service
