Sorta what they sound like. They're privately owned and hosted by third party people. You have to download their own launcher to play but most are pretty much free.
Check out ascension. It's wow but classless, you have a couple servers, one where you choose from 3 random abilities when you level up and another where you get more leeway in the abilities you chose. It's a really interesting way to play wow.
I thought Blizz went all in to shut down private servers, and that's how Classic was born?
