SaaS: you use a software and someone else administer it for you, ex: Hotmail you use the mail, you don’t care about whatever is behind it
PaaS: you use the platform, you manage it, but you don’t administer what is behind it. Ex: Office365 for business, you manage the users, permissions, the apps they provide, but you don’t manage the hardware, monitoring, updates, etc
IaaS: you get access to a virtual data center and you can do whatever you want with it. Let’s say you want your own email server you can install Microsoft Exchange(email server from Microsoft), you have to install the operating system, the software, configure it and manage it.
