All of the above web hosting packages are shared hosting, which is perfect for small to medium sized websites with reasonable visitor numbers. The listed packages allow you to run multiple websites from the same hosting account. So you don't need to sign up for a new account for every website you run.
If your website has high visitor numbers or has extensive images, videos or other resources that load the server then you should consider dedicated hosting. A dedicated server will give greater reliability and much better performance for your websites. Of course you can host unlimited websites with dedicated hosting.
