An '''Internet hosting service''' is a service that runs [[Internet]] servers, allowing organizations and individuals to serve content to the Internet. There are various levels of service and various kinds of services offered.

A common kind of hosting is [[web hosting service|web hosting]]. Most hosting providers offer a combined variety of services. [[Web hosting services]] also offer [[e-mail hosting service]], for example. [[DNS hosting service]] is usually bundled with [[domain name registrar|domain name registration]].

Web hosting technology has been causing some controversy lately as [[Web.com]] claims that it holds patent rights to the hosting technology with its 19 patents. Hostopia, a large wholesale host, recently purchased a license to use that technology from web.com for 10% of retail revenues ([http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/060718/102209.html source]). Web.com recently sued [[Godaddy]] as well for similar patent infringement ([http://www.thestreet.com/_mktw/tech/internet/10293025.html source]).

Generic, yet rather powerful, kind of Internet hosting provides a [[Server (computing)|server]] where the client can run anything he wants (including [[web server]]s and other [[Server (computing)|server]]s) and has an Internet connection with good [[upstream]] [[bandwidth]].

==Types of hosting==

{{internet hosting}}

===Full-featured hosting===

Full-featured hosting services include:
* [[Dedicated hosting service]], where the hosting service owns and manages the machine, leasing full control to the client
* [[Virtual private server]], in which [[virtualization]] technology is employed in order to allow multiple logical servers to run on a single physical server - thus the customer receives a [http://www.colocationprovider.org/whatisadedicatedserver.htm dedicated server] and yet the hosting company cuts costs by selling a single physical server to multiple customers.
* [[Colocation centre|Colocation facilities]], which provide just the Internet connection and climate control, but let the client do his own [[system administration]]; the most expensive

===Other===
Limited or application-specific hosting services include:
* [[Web hosting service]]
* [[E-mail hosting service]]
* [[DNS hosting service]]
* [[Game server]]s
* [[Wiki farm]]s

==Bandwidth cost==
Internet hosting services include the required Internet connection; they may charge a flat rate per month or charge per bandwidth used — a common payment plan is to charge for the 95th percentile bandwidth.
