-Shared-
Onshore: Servers located in USA/Canada (North America)
Offshore: Servers located in Netherlands, Germany, China, France, Russia, Eastern Europe.
Mostly: Lot's of clients on one server.

-VPS-
Stands for Virtual Private Server, it's not a real dedicated server but a virtual one.
Dedicated server devided into 10 "virtual" servers. This will give you the feeling of a real server, but lesser power.

-Dedicated Server-
Is a real server located in a Datacenter.

-Semi-Dedicated-
Is almost exactly like Shared hosting, the only difference is that you are with lesser clients on 1 server, this will bring you more power.
