Dedicated = They supply a server for you, you are the only one on it
Virtual = their server with many other people on it
Colo= You ship them a server and they hook it up to their lines / rackspace

And dedicated also gives you your own IP address.

Actually, there's alot of Virtual hosts offering that now and Colo usually gets you your own IPs as well...

So if I dont have much experience I should probably go with virtual hosting, right?

yeah its cheaper so if youre not expecting to start a huge program virtual is a nice start

most of the times theyve got all kinda stuff preinstalled too no need to start from scratch
