I use to be confused on what the types of hosting packages were, such as "shared" or "retailer". But after a while I just but two and two together and figured it out. ;p

Also, usually retailer is a horrible plan to get. :/

Shared Hosting:
Shared hosting is a type of Web hosting service that allows multiple websites to share a physical Web server and its resources among the hosted websites. Shared hosting logically distributes a Web server to accommodate, serve and operate more than one website.
Dedicated Server:
A Dedicated Server is an Internet hosting option in which a physical server (or servers) is an Unmanaged Dedicated Server to a single business customer. The customer has complete control over the machine, so they can optimize it for their unique requirements, including performance and security.
VPS(Virtual Private Server):
A VPS, or virtual private server, is a form of multi-tenant cloud hosting in which virtualized server resources are made available to an end-user over the internet via a cloud or hosting provider. Each VPS is installed on a physical machine, operated by the cloud or hosting provider, that runs multiple VPSs.
Reseller Hosting:
Reseller Hosting in simple terms can be said to be a hosting service where you, the reseller, rent out your services to your customers, in turn, earning a profit. These web hosting services include server bandwidth, CPU, disk space, RAM, etc.

I do not want to burden myself by overloading information. I know shared hosting, and I know it is the lowest priced hosting packages and suitable for small and moderate sized websites.
