Can you name and explain all the types of servers like VPS, dedicated, etc. Their advantages/disadvantages. Thanks in advance.

So you want us to do all the homework for you, huh?

Well, here's a good list of articles on the different types of web hosting. It should be a good start:

hosting.addict, are you on a reseller account, or do you really have 99 sites hosted on a dedicated server you have? Your site is templated as they come. I am having a hard time understanding here. Also, you are asking quetions like, what is a VPS, anda dedicated server and all. Help me out here. :/

I'm a little confused myself. Where did I write that I have 99 sites hosted on my own dedicated server? I wish I did lol. Yes I have a reseller account.

Edit: Did you do the reverse IP tool? I just checked it out and it says: Reverse IP: Web server hosts 99 websites (reverse ip tool requires free login). I would assume that would be the company of which I am a reseller.
