Physical hosting

[kkropp]

Can someone explain to me what is meant by "physical hosting" along with the other two hosting styles? I am new to Plesk and don't know what these mean.

TIA

physical hosting: Webpages, images, ... (all content) is stored on the harddisk of your plesk-server.

The other hosting types are just different "redirectors". The content is stored on an other server with an other URL. You can redirect visitors from www.example.com to www.example.net/~johndoe/homepage/ or something like that.
